Fujifilm A100 vs Panasonic TS4 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Typically, it is very difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by seeing a spec sheet. The image here will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm A100 and TS4.
As you can see, both cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different resolution. You should count on the Panasonic TS4 to produce more detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm A100 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
