FujiFilm JX300 vs Samsung EX2F Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it can be difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes merely by reading technical specs. The image below may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the JX300 and EX2F.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The JX300 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the FujiFilm JX300 will deliver greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged JX300 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
