FujiFilm JX300 vs Nikon S5200 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes only by checking specs. The pic underneath may provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the JX300 and S5200.

As you can plainly see, both of those cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Nikon S5200 to resolve more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images a little more aggressively. The more aged JX300 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
