Canon SX10 IS vs Panasonic ZS60 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it can be tough to picture the gap in sensor measurements only by going through technical specs. The photograph underneath should give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the SX10 IS and ZS60.
As you can tell, each of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You can count on the Panasonic ZS60 to show extra detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The older SX10 IS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
