Canon G11 vs Fujifilm JX500 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, each of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The G11 with its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Fujifilm JX500 will show greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images way more aggressively. The older G11 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
