Canon SD1400 IS vs Panasonic FP7 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it is tough to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements purely by checking out specs. The graphic here might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the SD1400 IS and FP7.
All in all, each of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but different MP. You should expect to see the Panasonic FP7 to show more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos more aggressively. The older SD1400 IS will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
