Fujifilm SL1000 vs Panasonic ZS15 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it's tough to picture the gap in sensor sizes only by seeing specs. The pic here should give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm SL1000 and ZS15.
All in all, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size but different MP. You should expect to see the Fujifilm SL1000 to produce extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm SL1000 should have an edge in sensor technology.
