Quite often, it is difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes merely by checking a spec sheet. The image here should give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the JZ300 and S3200.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You can expect to see the FujiFilm S3200 to give you more detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged JZ300 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
