FujiFilm AV250 vs Panasonic LX3 Sensor Comparison

All in all, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The AV250 with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the FujiFilm AV250 will give greater detail using its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots far more aggressively. The younger AV250 should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
