Normally, it's difficult to envision the gap in sensor measurements merely by looking through a spec sheet. The visual below will give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm JV150 and XS1.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Panasonic XS1 to result in extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older Fujifilm JV150 will be behind in sensor tech.
