FujiFilm JZ500 vs Nikon S1000pj Sensor Comparison

Quite often, its difficult to envision the contrast in sensor sizes only by viewing a spec sheet. The image below will give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the JZ500 and S1000pj.

Clearly, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the FujiFilm JZ500 to provide you with more detail utilizing its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more modern JZ500 will have an advantage in sensor technology.
