Nikon L24 vs Panasonic FH27 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, it is very difficult to visualise the difference in sensor measurements purely by checking out specs. The visual here will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the L24 and FH27.
All in all, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Panasonic FH27 to produce greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively.
