Lets look more in depth at the FujiFilm HS10 versus Panasonic LZ20, both Small Sensor Superzoom cameras by manufacturers FujiFilm and Panasonic. There is a crucial difference among the sensor resolutions of the HS10 (10MP) and LZ20 (16MP) but both cameras provide the identical sensor sizing (1/2.3").

The HS10 was announced 24 months earlier than the LZ20 which makes them a generation apart from each other. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before diving straight to a comprehensive comparison, here is a concise summary of how the HS10 scores against the LZ20 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Generally, its difficult to envision the gap in sensor measurements purely by researching technical specs. The photograph underneath might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the HS10 and LZ20.

As you can tell, both of the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Panasonic LZ20 to provide you with extra detail with its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The older HS10 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
