FujiFilm JZ300 vs Leica D-LUX 5 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, its difficult to see the gap between sensor sizing purely by going over technical specs. The graphic here might provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the JZ300 and D-LUX 5.

As you have seen, the two cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The JZ300 with its tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF more difficult and the FujiFilm JZ300 will offer you greater detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images much more aggressively. The older JZ300 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
