Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the Fujifilm JV150 and SH-2 is 96 and 88 respectively.

Typically, it can be tough to visualize the gap between sensor sizing merely by looking at technical specs. The visual underneath may provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm JV150 and SH-2.

As you have seen, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different MP. You should expect the Olympus SH-2 to give greater detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older Fujifilm JV150 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
