FujiFilm JV100 vs Panasonic LS5 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it can be difficult to visualize the difference in sensor measurements just by looking through specifications. The visual here will give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the JV100 and LS5.

Plainly, each of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit different megapixels. You can expect the Panasonic LS5 to provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs more aggressively. The older JV100 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
