Fujifilm JX500 vs Sony HX7V Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it is very hard to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions purely by going through specs. The pic here will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm JX500 and HX7V.
As you can plainly see, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Sony HX7V to show more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots far more aggressively.
