Fujifilm T550 vs Panasonic LF1

Let's look a little more closely at the Fujifilm T550 and Panasonic LF1, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Small Sensor Compact by companies FujiFilm and Panasonic. There is a significant difference between the sensor resolutions of the Fujifilm T550 (16MP) and LF1 (12MP) and the Fujifilm T550 (1/2.3") and LF1 (1/1.7") use totally different sensor measurements.

Often, it can be hard to visualise the gap between sensor measurements purely by reading specifications. The photograph underneath might give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm T550 and LF1.

Plainly, both cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm T550 due to its tinier sensor will make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Fujifilm T550 will offer greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older Fujifilm T550 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
