The JV100 was announced 6 years prior to the SH-2 which is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before diving into a in depth comparison, here is a simple overview of how the JV100 grades versus the SH-2 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for FujiFilm FinePix JV100 and Olympus Stylus SH-2. The whole galleries are provided at FujiFilm JV100 Gallery and Olympus SH-2 Gallery.

In case you're going to travel with your camera often, you have to factor in its weight and size.

More often than not, it's hard to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions just by looking through a spec sheet. The image here will provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the JV100 and SH-2.

As you can see, both cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Olympus SH-2 to result in greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The more aged JV100 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
