FujiFilm JZ300 vs Leica D-Lux 6 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The JZ300 with its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the FujiFilm JZ300 will result in greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older JZ300 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
