FujiFilm JZ300 vs Pentax Q7 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very tough to envision the gap in sensor sizes just by going through a spec sheet. The pic here will help give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the JZ300 and Q7.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have got the exact same megapixels albeit not the same sensor sizes. The JZ300 comes with the smaller sensor which will make achieving shallower DOF harder. The more aged JZ300 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
