All in all, the two cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The JV100 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving bokeh trickier and the FujiFilm JV100 will deliver more detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos far more aggressively. The older JV100 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
