FujiFilm JZ300 vs Panasonic ZS35 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very hard to visualise the difference in sensor measurements purely by viewing specs. The photograph here should give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the JZ300 and ZS35.

As you can plainly see, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Panasonic ZS35 to provide you with extra detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images far more aggressively. The older JZ300 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
