FujiFilm JX350 vs Panasonic LX3 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, its difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizes simply by reading technical specs. The image underneath may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the JX350 and LX3.

As you can tell, both the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The JX350 with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the FujiFilm JX350 will offer more detail using its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more modern JX350 will have a benefit in sensor tech.
