FujiFilm JZ500 vs Panasonic FH10 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is hard to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions only by going through technical specs. The image here should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the JZ500 and FH10.

As you have seen, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Panasonic FH10 to show extra detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged JZ500 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
