All in all, both of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm JV150 using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Fujifilm JV150 will deliver more detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm JV150 should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
