Canon G15 vs Panasonic FH22 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it can be difficult to see the gap in sensor sizes merely by seeing technical specs. The image here should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the G15 and FH22.

As you can tell, both of the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The G15 featuring a larger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Panasonic FH22 will produce greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics much more aggressively. The younger G15 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
