Casio EX-S5 vs FujiFilm JX300 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes merely by reading through a spec sheet. The pic below should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-S5 and JX300.

Clearly, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the FujiFilm JX300 to give more detail having an extra 5MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged EX-S5 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
