Canon 5D MIII vs FujiFilm JX300 Sensor Comparison

The 5D MIII due to its bigger sensor will make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Canon 5D MIII will result in greater detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The younger 5D MIII is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
