Fujifilm XP50 vs Panasonic LX7 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions only by viewing a spec sheet. The image here might give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm XP50 and LX7.
As you can see, each of these cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm XP50 featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting bokeh more challenging and the Fujifilm XP50 will render more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm XP50 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
