Canon SL3 vs Panasonic LZ30

On this page, we will be analyzing the Canon SL3 versus Panasonic LZ30, former being a Entry-Level DSLR while the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by competitors Canon and Panasonic. There exists a considerable gap among the image resolutions of the SL3 (24MP) and LZ30 (16MP) and the SL3 (APS-C) and LZ30 (1/2.3") provide different sensor size.

The SL3 was revealed 6 years later than the LZ30 and that is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras have different body design with the Canon SL3 being a Compact SLR camera and the Panasonic LZ30 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a quick highlight of how the SL3 scores versus the LZ30 for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

More often than not, it can be difficult to picture the difference in sensor sizing only by going through technical specs. The photograph underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the SL3 and LZ30.

As you have seen, both of those cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The SL3 having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon SL3 will provide greater detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots more aggressively. The fresher SL3 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
