The following is a extended analysis of the Nikon L20 vs Panasonic FH6, both Small Sensor Compact cameras by brands Nikon and Panasonic. There exists a huge gap among the image resolutions of the L20 (10MP) and FH6 (14MP) but both cameras provide the same sensor sizing (1/2.3").

The L20 was unveiled 3 years earlier than the FH6 which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before getting into a in depth comparison, here is a simple view of how the L20 grades against the FH6 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Nikon Coolpix L20 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH6. The full galleries are provided at Nikon L20 Gallery and Panasonic FH6 Gallery.

If you are looking to travel with your camera, you'll have to think about its weight and size. The Nikon L20 has exterior measurements of 97mm x 61mm x 29mm (3.8" x 2.4" x 1.1") with a weight of 135 grams (0.30 lbs) while the Panasonic FH6 has specifications of 96mm x 56mm x 20mm (3.8" x 2.2" x 0.8") having a weight of 119 grams (0.26 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you choose at that moment. Below is a front view overall size comparison of the L20 and the FH6.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the L20 and FH6 is 94 and 96 respectively.

Normally, it is hard to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions only by viewing specifications. The image here might give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the L20 and FH6.

Plainly, each of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Panasonic FH6 to render more detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos more aggressively. The more aged L20 will be behind in sensor tech.
