FujiFilm T300 vs Panasonic LX5 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very difficult to see the contrast in sensor measurements just by going through technical specs. The graphic here may provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the T300 and LX5.

As you can tell, each of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The T300 because of its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow DOF trickier and the FujiFilm T300 will show greater detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a little more aggressively.
