Canon SX740 HS vs Panasonic ZS25 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, its hard to envision the difference between sensor dimensions only by reading through specifications. The pic here may provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX740 HS and ZS25.
Plainly, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Canon SX740 HS to give you greater detail having an extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more modern SX740 HS will have an edge in sensor tech.
