Fujifilm F500 EXR vs Fujifilm JX500 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Typically, it is very difficult to picture the contrast between sensor measurements just by reading a spec sheet. The photograph below will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm F500 EXR and Fujifilm JX500.
Clearly, each of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm F500 EXR because of its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm F500 EXR will offer extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos more aggressively. The older Fujifilm F500 EXR is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
