Which one should you choose?
Choose Fujifilm FinePix F72EXR if 10 MP, NP-45, and the F-series body are what you are chasing.
Choose Fujifilm FinePix JX500 if a 5x 26–130mm lens, SDXC, and a 113 g body are more useful.
The F72EXR keeps the EXR-era choice; the JX500 is smaller, wider, and simpler for everyday cards.
