Normally, it is tough to picture the gap between sensor measurements merely by looking at specifications. The photograph here will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm JV150 and SZ-16 iHS.

Plainly, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Olympus SZ-16 iHS to give greater detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older Fujifilm JV150 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
