Canon G11 vs Panasonic LF1 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it's tough to see the difference between sensor sizes simply by going over specifications. The pic underneath should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the G11 and LF1.

Plainly, both the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Panasonic LF1 to deliver greater detail having its extra 2MP.
