Nikon L24 vs Panasonic FH10 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizes just by reading through specs. The image below will give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the L24 and FH10.

All in all, each of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Panasonic FH10 to give more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged L24 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
