FujiFilm JV200 vs Panasonic ZS30 Sensor Comparison
Normally, its hard to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by viewing technical specs. The image here will help offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the JV200 and ZS30.
As you can tell, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Panasonic ZS30 to render greater detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures much more aggressively. The more aged JV200 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
