Leica V-Lux 40 vs Panasonic ZS60 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, its tough to see the gap in sensor dimensions purely by seeing specifications. The image underneath might provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the V-Lux 40 and ZS60.
To sum up, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Panasonic ZS60 to provide more detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged V-Lux 40 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
