FujiFilm JZ500 vs Nikon D1H Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it's difficult to picture the difference in sensor measurements simply by looking through a spec sheet. The graphic here may offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the JZ500 and D1H.

As you can see, each of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The JZ500 using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF harder and the FujiFilm JZ500 will render greater detail using its extra 11 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more modern JZ500 should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
