Canon A810 vs Panasonic LF1 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is tough to see the contrast in sensor sizing simply by viewing technical specs. The photograph underneath may offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the A810 and LF1.

As you have seen, both of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The A810 due to its smaller sensor will make getting shallower DOF harder and the Canon A810 will provide you with extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older A810 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
