All in all, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm JX500 having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Nikon 1 V3 will give you extra detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older Fujifilm JX500 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
