Fujifilm Z900EXR vs Panasonic LZ30 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, its hard to see the gap between sensor dimensions simply by reading through a spec sheet. The picture below should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm Z900EXR and LZ30.
Clearly, the two cameras offer the same exact megapixels albeit not the same sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm Z900EXR offers the bigger sensor which should make getting shallower DOF easier. The more aged Fujifilm Z900EXR is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
