Resolution and Image Print Size
Here's the best resolution you can expect from the Fujifilm X-S10. Image resolution is a reference of the amount of image detail your pictures will hold, here measured as pixel dimensions. Higher resolution images will contain more pixels. As you can see in the comparison image below, to be considered as High Definition (HD) you'd need at least 1920x1080 pixels, or 2.1 megapixels. For images with 4K you'd need at least 4096x2160 pixels, which would be at least 8.3 megapixels.
