Canon A2300 vs Panasonic LX7 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Oftentimes, it is very hard to picture the gap in sensor measurements merely by going through specs. The photograph underneath should provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the A2300 and LX7.
As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The A2300 due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Canon A2300 will show extra detail having its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older A2300 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
