Sometimes, it is very tough to envision the difference in sensor sizes merely by looking through specs. The image here will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the JZ500 and D-Lux 6.

All in all, both the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The JZ500 having a smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the FujiFilm JZ500 will provide you with extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged JZ500 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
