FujiFilm JV200 vs Pentax MX-1 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very difficult to picture the gap between sensor sizing merely by reading technical specs. The visual below should provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the JV200 and MX-1.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The JV200 with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the FujiFilm JV200 will deliver greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older JV200 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
