Canon A2200 vs Panasonic FH8 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is very hard to visualise the difference between sensor sizes purely by going over a spec sheet. The pic underneath will give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the A2200 and FH8.

As you can see, both of those cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Panasonic FH8 to offer you more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged A2200 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
