Canon ELPH 330 HS vs Panasonic ZS70 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Typically, it is hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizes just by reading specifications. The pic here might give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the ELPH 330 HS and ZS70.
Plainly, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Panasonic ZS70 to deliver more detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged ELPH 330 HS is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
