Canon A1100 IS vs Panasonic FH22 Sensor Comparison
Quite often, it is very hard to envision the gap in sensor measurements purely by researching specifications. The visual below will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the A1100 IS and FH22.
To sum up, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Panasonic FH22 to result in extra detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos much more aggressively. The older A1100 IS will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
