FujiFilm JX300 vs Sigma DP2s Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it's tough to picture the gap between sensor sizes purely by looking at a spec sheet. The image below might provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the JX300 and DP2s.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The JX300 having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving bokeh more difficult and the FujiFilm JX300 will give you more detail having an extra 9 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The fresher JX300 should have an advantage in sensor technology.
