FujiFilm JZ300 vs Panasonic FH10 Sensor Comparison

Often, it is difficult to see the difference between sensor sizing only by going over specifications. The photograph here will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the JZ300 and FH10.

Plainly, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Panasonic FH10 to offer more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs much more aggressively. The older JZ300 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
