Canon A490 vs FujiFilm JV200 Sensor Comparison

Often, it is very tough to picture the gap in sensor dimensions merely by viewing technical specs. The pic here will give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the A490 and JV200.

As you can tell, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You should anticipate the FujiFilm JV200 to render greater detail utilizing its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged A490 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
