FujiFilm JV200 vs Panasonic LX7 Sensor Comparison
Normally, it is very difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements just by viewing a spec sheet. The visual below will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the JV200 and LX7.
As you can see, both of those cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The JV200 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the FujiFilm JV200 will render more detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The older JV200 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
