Canon SD3500 IS vs Panasonic FH25 Sensor Comparison
In many cases, it's hard to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions purely by looking through technical specs. The image below will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the SD3500 IS and FH25.
As you have seen, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Panasonic FH25 to render more detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged SD3500 IS will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
