Canon ELPH 330 HS vs Panasonic FH22 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, its difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes merely by going over technical specs. The image here should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the ELPH 330 HS and FH22.
As you can tell, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Panasonic FH22 to offer greater detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots far more aggressively. The more modern ELPH 330 HS will have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
