FujiFilm JV200 vs Sony NEX-3N

Below is a extended overview of the FujiFilm JV200 versus Sony NEX-3N, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by competitors FujiFilm and Sony. The resolution of the JV200 (14MP) and the NEX-3N (16MP) is pretty close but the JV200 (1/2.3") and NEX-3N (APS-C) use totally different sensor sizing.

The JV200 was unveiled 3 years prior to the NEX-3N and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the FujiFilm JV200 being a Compact camera and the Sony NEX-3N being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting in to a thorough comparison, below is a short synopsis of how the JV200 scores versus the NEX-3N in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you have chosen during that time. Here is the front view measurement comparison of the JV200 compared to the NEX-3N.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the JV200 and NEX-3N is 96 and 89 respectively.

More often than not, its difficult to see the gap in sensor measurements only by researching technical specs. The graphic here should offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the JV200 and NEX-3N.

As you have seen, both cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The JV200 having a smaller sensor will make achieving bokeh trickier and the Sony NEX-3N will provide you with greater detail having an extra 2MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The older JV200 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
