Nikon P600 vs Panasonic ZS80 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, its tough to imagine the difference between sensor dimensions just by going over specifications. The picture below might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the P600 and ZS80.
To sum up, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You should expect to see the Panasonic ZS80 to deliver extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged P600 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
