FujiFilm JX300 vs Panasonic FH10 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very difficult to envision the difference between sensor measurements merely by reading through specifications. The graphic underneath might offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the JX300 and FH10.

To sum up, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Panasonic FH10 to resolve greater detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos far more aggressively. The older JX300 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
