Fujifilm JX550 vs Pentax WG-10 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You should expect to see the Fujifilm JX550 to give extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm JX550 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
