FujiFilm AV250 vs Panasonic LF1 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is hard to picture the contrast between sensor sizing purely by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual here might provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the AV250 and LF1.

Clearly, both of those cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The AV250 with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF harder and the FujiFilm AV250 will deliver extra detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a little more aggressively. The older AV250 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
