FujiFilm S3200 vs Panasonic FZ1000 Sensor Comparison
Quite often, it's difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizes only by researching a spec sheet. The image here should provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the S3200 and FZ1000.
Clearly, the two cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The S3200 featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting bokeh tougher and the Panasonic FZ1000 will result in more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged S3200 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
