Fujifilm S9800 vs Panasonic ZS80 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it is very hard to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions simply by reviewing technical specs. The image underneath may give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm S9800 and ZS80.
As you have seen, each of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You should count on the Panasonic ZS80 to offer extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S9800 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
