To sum up, both of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The JV100 due to its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the FujiFilm JV100 will render more detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The more modern JV100 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
