FujiFilm JX300 vs Nikon P340 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it can be difficult to visualise the difference in sensor measurements purely by viewing specifications. The graphic here might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the JX300 and P340.

Plainly, both the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The JX300 due to its smaller sensor will make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the FujiFilm JX300 will render more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older JX300 will be behind in sensor innovation.
