The EX-Z33 was introduced 5 years earlier than the LF1 which is a fairly large difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before delving straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a simple highlight of how the EX-Z33 matches up against the LF1 for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

In many cases, it's tough to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions just by looking through specs. The picture here might offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-Z33 and LF1.

All in all, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The EX-Z33 using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF more difficult and the Panasonic LF1 will render greater detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z33 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
