Normally, it's difficult to see the contrast in sensor measurements just by viewing a spec sheet. The photograph below will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-FH100 and Fujifilm JX550.

Clearly, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Fujifilm JX550 to render more detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older EX-FH100 will be behind in sensor innovation.
