FujiFilm AV200 vs Panasonic LX7 Sensor Comparison

Typically, its hard to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions just by going over a spec sheet. The image here may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the AV200 and LX7.

Clearly, the two cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The AV200 having a tinier sensor will make getting shallower depth of field tougher and the FujiFilm AV200 will deliver greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged AV200 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
