FujiFilm JX300 vs FujiFilm S1800 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, its hard to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements merely by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph here might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the JX300 and S1800.

Clearly, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You can count on the FujiFilm JX300 to render more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The newer JX300 should have an edge in sensor technology.
