FujiFilm T300 vs Panasonic ZS50 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very tough to envision the gap between sensor dimensions just by looking at a spec sheet. The pic underneath may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the T300 and ZS50.

Clearly, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the FujiFilm T300 to resolve extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged T300 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
