Canon SX200 IS vs FujiFilm JX300 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very tough to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions purely by checking specs. The pic underneath may give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX200 IS and JX300.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the FujiFilm JX300 to give you extra detail having an extra 2MP.
