Clearly, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should anticipate the FujiFilm JX300 to offer you extra detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The newer SX240 HS will have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
