Canon SX700 HS vs Panasonic ZS70 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it's hard to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes purely by reading a spec sheet. The image here will give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX700 HS and ZS70.
Clearly, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Panasonic ZS70 to deliver extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged SX700 HS is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
