Canon N vs FujiFilm JZ500 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it can be difficult to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions only by viewing specifications. The image here might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the N and JZ500.

Plainly, the 2 cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You can expect the FujiFilm JZ500 to provide you with more detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The younger N is going to have a benefit in sensor innovation.
