Oftentimes, it is hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing only by viewing a spec sheet. The visual below will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the JV100 and SH-1.

As you can see, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Olympus SH-1 to provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs much more aggressively. The older JV100 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
