The JV100 was announced 4 years earlier than the NEX-3N and that is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras offer different body type with the FujiFilm JV100 being a Compact camera and the Sony NEX-3N being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going straight into a comprehensive comparison, below is a quick synopsis of how the JV100 matches up against the NEX-3N with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for FujiFilm FinePix JV100 and Sony Alpha NEX-3N. The whole galleries are available at FujiFilm JV100 Gallery and Sony NEX-3N Gallery.

If you are going to lug around your camera, you will have to take into account its weight and measurements.

Oftentimes, its difficult to see the gap between sensor measurements purely by reviewing technical specs. The photograph below may give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the JV100 and NEX-3N.

As you have seen, both cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The JV100 using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Sony NEX-3N will offer more detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images a little more aggressively. The older JV100 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
