FujiFilm JX300 vs Panasonic LF1 Sensor Comparison

All in all, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The JX300 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving bokeh trickier and the FujiFilm JX300 will deliver extra detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs way more aggressively. The older JX300 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
