Canon SX620 HS vs Panasonic LF1

Let's look a little more closely at the Canon SX620 HS vs Panasonic LF1, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Small Sensor Compact by companies Canon and Panasonic. There is a significant difference between the resolutions of the SX620 HS (20MP) and LF1 (12MP) and the SX620 HS (1/2.3") and LF1 (1/1.7") offer different sensor sizing.

The SX620 HS was introduced 2 years after the LF1 which is quite a sizable gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before delving straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a concise synopsis of how the SX620 HS matches up versus the LF1 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot SX620 HS and Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1. The whole galleries are provided at Canon SX620 HS Gallery and Panasonic LF1 Gallery.

For anybody who is planning to travel with your camera often, you should factor in its weight and volume.

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are employing at that moment. Underneath is a front view dimensions comparison of the SX620 HS against the LF1.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability score of the SX620 HS and LF1 is 93 and 92 respectively.

Oftentimes, its difficult to imagine the difference between sensor dimensions just by reading through technical specs. The image underneath should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the SX620 HS and LF1.

As you have seen, the two cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The SX620 HS using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF tougher and the Canon SX620 HS will give you greater detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The fresher SX620 HS should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
