Nikon P330 vs Panasonic ZS10 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is very tough to visualise the difference in sensor measurements merely by checking out technical specs. The photograph here might give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the P330 and ZS10.

As you can tell, both of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The P330 using its bigger sensor will make getting shallower DOF easier and the Panasonic ZS10 will produce extra detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The newer P330 will have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
