Following is a thorough review of the Canon G15 vs Panasonic FH22, both Small Sensor Compact cameras by competitors Canon and Panasonic. The sensor resolution of the G15 (12MP) and the FH22 (14MP) is very comparable but the G15 (1/1.7") and FH22 (1/2.3") come with totally different sensor measurements.

The G15 was manufactured 2 years after the FH22 which is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before going through a detailed comparison, below is a quick view of how the G15 scores versus the FH22 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

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.
