Sometimes, it is very hard to see the difference between sensor sizing purely by reading through specs. The photograph underneath may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-10 and JX300.

All in all, both cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The EX-10 featuring a bigger sensor will make getting shallow DOF easier and the FujiFilm JX300 will resolve extra detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The more modern EX-10 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
