Fujifilm JZ200 vs Samsung NX30

Let's look more in depth at the Fujifilm JZ200 and Samsung NX30, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by manufacturers FujiFilm and Samsung. The sensor resolution of the Fujifilm JZ200 (16MP) and the NX30 (20MP) is relatively close but the Fujifilm JZ200 (1/2.3") and NX30 (APS-C) offer totally different sensor dimensions.

In many cases, it is hard to visualise the gap in sensor sizing simply by looking through specifications. The visual below will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm JZ200 and NX30.

Plainly, both the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm JZ200 using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Samsung NX30 will provide you with greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs way more aggressively. The older Fujifilm JZ200 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
