The T300 was manufactured 4 years prior to the SZ10 and that is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before delving into a step-by-step comparison, here is a short view of how the T300 matches up against the SZ10 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for FujiFilm FinePix T300 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-SZ10. The entire galleries are available at FujiFilm T300 Gallery and Panasonic SZ10 Gallery.

Quite often, it can be tough to envision the difference between sensor measurements just by reading through technical specs. The photograph here will offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the T300 and SZ10.

As you have seen, both cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Panasonic SZ10 to give you more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older T300 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
