FujiFilm JZ300 vs Samsung NX11 Sensor Comparison

Usually, its tough to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions only by researching specs. The image here may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the JZ300 and NX11.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The JZ300 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the Samsung NX11 will result in greater detail having an extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged JZ300 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
