Often, it is tough to envision the contrast in sensor measurements simply by going through a spec sheet. The photograph below may offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the T300 and ZR1.

Clearly, both the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the FujiFilm T300 to show more detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics more aggressively. The more recent T300 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
