Fujifilm SL300 vs Panasonic ZS25 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it is very hard to envision the gap between sensor dimensions simply by reading through technical specs. The picture below will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm SL300 and ZS25.
As you have seen, the two cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Panasonic ZS25 to give you greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm SL300 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
