Generally, some of the advantages of the Fujifilm JX405 compared to super zoom competitors include: it is significantly smaller (super compact (94×56×23 mm) vs large (131×97×126 mm)), is thinner (0.9" vs 5") and is significantly lighter (130 g vs 687 g).
However, on average it has a significantly narrower wide angle lens (28 mm vs 24 mm), has a much smaller screen (2.7" vs 3"), has a slightly lower resolution screen (230k dots vs 460k dots), has worse image stabilization (digital vs sensor shift) and doesn't shoot as fast continuously (1.1 fps vs 11 fps).
