Quite often, it's tough to see the difference between sensor sizing only by reading through a spec sheet. The graphic here might provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the AV250 and CX5.
Clearly, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the FujiFilm AV250 to give extra detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics far more aggressively.
