Fujifilm T400 vs Panasonic ZS40 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Normally, it's tough to see the difference between sensor measurements purely by reading specs. The visual below might give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm T400 and ZS40.
All in all, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Panasonic ZS40 to deliver more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The older Fujifilm T400 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
