FujiFilm JZ500 vs Fujifilm X10 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, its tough to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by researching a spec sheet. The picture below should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the JZ500 and Fujifilm X10.

Clearly, both of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The JZ500 having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the FujiFilm JZ500 will result in more detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged JZ500 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
