FujiFilm JX300 vs FujiFilm S2500HD Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizing simply by checking specifications. The visual underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the JX300 and S2500HD.

Plainly, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the FujiFilm JX300 to give you more detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics much more aggressively. The newer JX300 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
