Fujifilm F900EXR vs Panasonic ZS60

Below is a extended analysis of the Fujifilm F900EXR versus Panasonic ZS60, both Small Sensor Superzoom cameras by manufacturers FujiFilm and Panasonic. The sensor resolution of the Fujifilm F900EXR (16MP) and the ZS60 (18MP) is relatively comparable but the Fujifilm F900EXR (1/2") and ZS60 (1/2.3") come with totally different sensor size.

The Fujifilm F900EXR was unveiled 3 years prior to the ZS60 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before we go straight into a in depth comparison, below is a simple introduction of how the Fujifilm F900EXR grades vs the ZS60 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Oftentimes, its hard to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements purely by seeing a spec sheet. The graphic below might provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm F900EXR and ZS60.

Clearly, both the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm F900EXR using its bigger sensor will make getting bokeh simpler and the Panasonic ZS60 will produce more detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older Fujifilm F900EXR will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
