FujiFilm JX300 vs Olympus TG-3 Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it is hard to envision the gap in sensor measurements purely by seeing a spec sheet. The photograph here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the JX300 and TG-3.

Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older JX300 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
