Nikon L100 vs Panasonic ZS60 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it's tough to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions only by checking out specifications. The picture here may give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the L100 and ZS60.
To sum up, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Panasonic ZS60 to produce more detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged L100 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
