Nikon P7000 vs Panasonic FH7 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it can be tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizing only by going over specifications. The photograph here might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the P7000 and FH7.

To sum up, both the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The P7000 using its larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Panasonic FH7 will deliver more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics more aggressively. The older P7000 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
