Fujifilm F500 EXR vs Panasonic TS4 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, it is difficult to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions purely by seeing specifications. The picture underneath will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm F500 EXR and TS4.
Plainly, the 2 cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm F500 EXR with its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm F500 EXR will provide more detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm F500 EXR will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
