FujiFilm JZ500 vs Nikon S5200 Sensor Comparison

Often, it is very tough to visualise the difference between sensor measurements purely by going over a spec sheet. The visual below should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the JZ500 and S5200.

As you can see, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Nikon S5200 to offer extra detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older JZ500 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
