Fujifilm S1 vs Panasonic ZS70 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, its difficult to see the difference in sensor sizes only by seeing a spec sheet. The picture below will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm S1 and ZS70.
Clearly, both of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Panasonic ZS70 to produce more detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S1 will be behind in sensor tech.
