Lets look a little more closely at the FujiFilm JZ500 and Sony RX100 VI, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the other is a Large Sensor Compact by brands FujiFilm and Sony. There is a big difference between the sensor resolutions of the JZ500 (14MP) and RX100 VI (20MP) and the JZ500 (1/2.3") and RX100 VI (1") posses different sensor dimensions.

The JZ500 was revealed 9 years before the RX100 VI and that is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras feature different body design with the FujiFilm JZ500 being a Compact camera and the Sony RX100 VI being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before diving straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a quick synopsis of how the JZ500 grades against the RX100 VI in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for FujiFilm FinePix JZ500 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VI. The full galleries are available at FujiFilm JZ500 Gallery and Sony RX100 VI Gallery.

If you are looking to carry your camera often, you are going to need to consider its weight and size.

In many cases, it's hard to visualize the difference between sensor sizing only by checking specs. The photograph below might offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the JZ500 and RX100 VI.

All in all, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The JZ500 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony RX100 VI will resolve greater detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older JZ500 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
