FujiFilm JV100 vs Olympus VG-160 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, its hard to envision the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reading specs. The pic here might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the JV100 and VG-160.

As you can plainly see, both of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Olympus VG-160 to offer more detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged JV100 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
