Sometimes, it's hard to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions purely by reading a spec sheet. The picture here will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the JZ500 and Fujifilm S2000HD.

Clearly, both the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the FujiFilm JZ500 to offer more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The newer JZ500 will have an edge in sensor tech.
