Nikon L24 vs Panasonic 3D1 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it's hard to envision the gap between sensor sizing simply by reading a spec sheet. The visual here will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the L24 and 3D1.

Clearly, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Nikon L24 to deliver greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older L24 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
