Canon SD4500 IS vs Panasonic FH10 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, its tough to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing purely by going through technical specs. The photograph below will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the SD4500 IS and FH10.
As you can tell, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You can expect the Panasonic FH10 to provide extra detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs much more aggressively. The older SD4500 IS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
