Fujifilm F900EXR vs Panasonic ZS20 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it's difficult to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by checking out specifications. The pic below will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm F900EXR and ZS20.
Plainly, both the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm F900EXR using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field easier and the Fujifilm F900EXR will produce more detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures much more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm F900EXR will have an advantage in sensor innovation.
