As you have seen, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The JV200 having a tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the FujiFilm JV200 will give you more detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The newer JV200 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
