FujiFilm S4000 vs Panasonic ZS60 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizes simply by going through specifications. The pic below will give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the S4000 and ZS60.

To sum up, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Panasonic ZS60 to show greater detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged S4000 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
