Fujifilm Z30 vs Panasonic FH10 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, its hard to envision the gap in sensor sizes merely by researching a spec sheet. The image below should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm Z30 and FH10.

Clearly, both the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Panasonic FH10 to render extra detail because of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm Z30 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
