The A495 was released 12 months later than the FS25 so they are both of a similar generation. Both cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before delving straight into a in depth comparison, below is a brief highlight of how the A495 matches up against the FS25 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot A495 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS25. The complete galleries are available at Canon A495 Gallery and Panasonic FS25 Gallery.

If you're going to carry your camera, you should factor in its weight and dimensions. The Canon A495 features exterior measurements of 94mm x 62mm x 31mm (3.7" x 2.4" x 1.2") and a weight of 175 grams (0.39 lbs) while the Panasonic FS25 has dimensions of 97mm x 58mm x 22mm (3.8" x 2.3" x 0.9") along with a weight of 148 grams (0.33 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Here is the front view measurement comparison of the A495 against the FS25.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability score of the A495 and FS25 is 93 and 95 respectively.

In many cases, it is very difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizing simply by researching technical specs. The photograph below might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the A495 and FS25.

As you have seen, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Panasonic FS25 to provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The newer A495 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
