Often, it's tough to imagine the difference between sensor sizing only by looking at specifications. The photograph underneath may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the JV200 and ZS5.
Plainly, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You can expect to see the FujiFilm JV200 to give greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The fresher JV200 provides an advantage in sensor tech.
