Canon 350D vs Panasonic L1 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizes just by reading a spec sheet. The pic underneath will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the 350D and L1.

Clearly, each of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 350D because of its larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon 350D will offer you more detail as a result of its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 350D is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
