Fujifilm Real 3D W1 vs Panasonic LF1

Let's look a bit more closely at the Fujifilm Real 3D W1 and Panasonic LF1, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras by manufacturers FujiFilm and Panasonic. The image resolution of the Fujifilm Real 3D W1 (10MP) and the LF1 (12MP) is relatively well matched but the Fujifilm Real 3D W1 (1/2.3") and LF1 (1/1.7") offer totally different sensor dimensions.

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will differ depending on the lens you have attached at that time. Below is a front view measurements comparison of the Fujifilm Real 3D W1 and the LF1.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability grade of the Fujifilm Real 3D W1 and LF1 is 90 and 92 respectively.

Usually, it is difficult to envision the contrast between sensor sizes purely by reading through specifications. The picture here will give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm Real 3D W1 and LF1.

Plainly, both of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm Real 3D W1 due to its tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF harder and the Panasonic LF1 will resolve greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm Real 3D W1 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
