Leica V-Lux 30 vs Panasonic TS6 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
In many cases, it is very hard to see the difference between sensor dimensions purely by reading through specifications. The image underneath will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the V-Lux 30 and TS6.
To sum up, each of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Panasonic TS6 to give greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs far more aggressively. The more aged V-Lux 30 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
