Canon N vs Fujifilm JX500 Sensor Comparison

Typically, its tough to visualise the difference in sensor sizes purely by researching a spec sheet. The image underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the N and Fujifilm JX500.

As you can see, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Fujifilm JX500 to render greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots much more aggressively. The younger N will have an edge in sensor innovation.
