To sum up, both of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The JV200 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more challenging and the Fujifilm HS30EXR will provide greater detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged JV200 will be behind in sensor innovation.
