Canon D20 vs Panasonic FH1

Below, we will be analyzing the Canon D20 vs Panasonic FH1, one being a Waterproof and the latter is a Small Sensor Compact by companies Canon and Panasonic. The resolution of the D20 (12MP) and the FH1 (12MP) is pretty comparable and they use the exact same sensor measurements (1/2.3").

The D20 was manufactured 3 years later than the FH1 and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before diving in to a complete comparison, below is a quick overview of how the D20 grades against the FH1 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot D20 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH1. The entire galleries are available at Canon D20 Gallery and Panasonic FH1 Gallery.

In case you're aiming to lug around your camera often, you should consider its weight and proportions.

Quite often, its difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements only by seeing technical specs. The visual underneath should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the D20 and FH1.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements and the identical MP therefore you should expect comparable quality of files however you should really take the production date of the cameras into account. The younger D20 is going to have an edge in sensor technology.
