FujiFilm JZ500 vs Olympus FE-4000 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it can be tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizes only by reading a spec sheet. The image underneath will give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the JZ500 and FE-4000.

Greater resolution can also let you crop pics far more aggressively. The newer JZ500 is going to have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
