Canon SX220 HS vs Panasonic ZS10 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Usually, it is very tough to envision the difference between sensor sizing merely by reading a spec sheet. The visual here will offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX220 HS and ZS10.
As you can see, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Panasonic ZS10 to offer you more detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively.
