Canon G3 X vs Panasonic FZ35

Let's look more closely at the Canon G3 X versus Panasonic FZ35, one being a Large Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by manufacturers Canon and Panasonic. There is a big difference among the resolutions of the G3 X (20MP) and FZ35 (12MP) and the G3 X (1") and FZ35 (1/2.3") posses totally different sensor size.

The G3 X was announced 5 years later than the FZ35 and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before going into a step-by-step comparison, here is a brief summation of how the G3 X scores against the FZ35 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot G3 X and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35. The whole galleries are provided at Canon G3 X Gallery and Panasonic FZ35 Gallery.

Generally, it is tough to see the difference in sensor measurements merely by going through technical specs. The photograph underneath should offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the G3 X and FZ35.

As you have seen, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The G3 X using its bigger sensor will make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon G3 X will produce more detail with its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more modern G3 X is going to have an edge in sensor tech.
