Fujifilm Real 3D W1 vs Panasonic XS1 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it's difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions only by reading a spec sheet. The pic below will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm Real 3D W1 and XS1.

As you can see, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Panasonic XS1 to offer extra detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm Real 3D W1 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
