Nikon P7700 vs Panasonic S1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes only by researching technical specs. The picture below may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the P7700 and S1.
As you have seen, both cameras have the same megapixels but not the same sensor sizes. The P7700 has got the larger sensor which should make obtaining shallower depth of field less difficult. The newer P7700 is going to have a benefit in sensor technology.
