Canon SX70 HS vs Panasonic TS6 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it's difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizes purely by seeing a spec sheet. The picture here will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the SX70 HS and TS6.
Clearly, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Canon SX70 HS to provide extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The newer SX70 HS is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
