Fujifilm X20 vs Panasonic LF1

Let's look more closely at the Fujifilm X20 versus Panasonic LF1, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras by rivals FujiFilm and Panasonic. The sensor resolution of the Fujifilm X20 (12MP) and the LF1 (12MP) is fairly well matched but the Fujifilm X20 (2/3") and LF1 (1/1.7") come with totally different sensor dimensions.

The Fujifilm X20 was manufactured 7 months earlier than the LF1 which means that they are of a similar generation. Each of these cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before getting straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a short view of how the Fujifilm X20 grades vs the LF1 for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Fujifilm X20 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1. The entire galleries are available at Fujifilm X20 Gallery and Panasonic LF1 Gallery.

When you are looking to travel with your camera, you'll have to factor in its weight and dimensions. The Fujifilm X20 enjoys outer dimensions of 117mm x 70mm x 57mm (4.6" x 2.8" x 2.2") and a weight of 353 grams (0.78 lbs) and the Panasonic LF1 has dimensions of 103mm x 62mm x 28mm (4.1" x 2.4" x 1.1") along with a weight of 192 grams (0.42 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you are working with at that moment. Below is the front view measurements comparison of the Fujifilm X20 versus the LF1.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability rating of the Fujifilm X20 and LF1 is 83 and 92 respectively.

Usually, its difficult to see the gap between sensor dimensions only by looking at a spec sheet. The picture here will help give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X20 and LF1.

Clearly, the 2 cameras offer the same exact MP but not the same sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X20 comes with the larger sensor which will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult. The more aged Fujifilm X20 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
