FujiFilm JV200 vs Olympus SZ-15 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, the two cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Olympus SZ-15 to offer extra detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots more aggressively. The older JV200 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
