FujiFilm JX300 vs Fujifilm X20 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it can be tough to picture the gap in sensor measurements purely by researching technical specs. The photograph below will offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the JX300 and Fujifilm X20.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The JX300 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the FujiFilm JX300 will result in greater detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots far more aggressively. The older JX300 will be behind in sensor innovation.
