All in all, each of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The EX-10 featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the FujiFilm JZ500 will provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more modern EX-10 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
