FujiFilm JV100 vs Nikon L120 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it can be tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing only by reading through specs. The photograph here should give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the JV100 and L120.

All in all, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Nikon L120 to resolve greater detail having an extra 2MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The older JV100 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
