FujiFilm JX300 vs Nikon S33 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very difficult to picture the difference between sensor measurements simply by reading through a spec sheet. The visual underneath may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the JX300 and S33.

As you can see, both of those cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The JX300 because of its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the FujiFilm JX300 will resolve more detail as a result of its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos way more aggressively. The older JX300 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
