All in all, the two cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The JV100 due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field tougher and the FujiFilm JV100 will provide extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged JV100 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
