FujiFilm JZ500 vs Fujifilm S5 Pro Sensor Comparison
Quite often, it's difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reading through specs. The visual here may give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the JZ500 and Fujifilm S5 Pro.
As you can plainly see, each of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The JZ500 using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the FujiFilm JZ500 will resolve more detail having an extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more recent JZ500 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
