In many cases, it is hard to envision the contrast in sensor measurements purely by seeing specifications. The visual underneath should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the P100 and FZ300.

To sum up, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Panasonic FZ300 to produce extra detail having an extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older P100 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
