All in all, both cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm JZ100 due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Fujifilm JZ100 will give greater detail as a result of its extra 11MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm JZ100 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
