Usually, it is hard to imagine the contrast between sensor sizing merely by looking at technical specs. The photograph here might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the JZ500 and W60.

As you have seen, both the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different resolution. You should count on the FujiFilm JZ500 to resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more recent JZ500 should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
