FujiFilm JZ500 vs Nikon S4300 Sensor Comparison

All in all, both the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Nikon S4300 to produce more detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged JZ500 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
