Fujifilm A100 vs Fujifilm JX500 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but different resolution. You should anticipate the Fujifilm JX500 to show extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older Fujifilm A100 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
