Fujifilm X-S1 vs Panasonic FZ60 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it's difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing merely by viewing technical specs. The photograph underneath may offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-S1 and FZ60.
As you have seen, both of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-S1 featuring a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Panasonic FZ60 will provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-S1 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
