Nikon S3300 vs Panasonic FH3

Let's look a bit more closely at the Nikon S3300 and Panasonic FH3, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras by companies Nikon and Panasonic. The image resolution of the S3300 (16MP) and the FH3 (14MP) is pretty similar and they come with the exact same sensor size (1/2.3").

The S3300 was introduced 2 years later than the FH3 and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before delving through a in-depth comparison, below is a concise summation of how the S3300 scores versus the FH3 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Nikon Coolpix S3300 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH3. The whole galleries are viewable at Nikon S3300 Gallery and Panasonic FH3 Gallery.

In case you're looking to lug around your camera frequently, you have to take into account its weight and proportions.

Typically, it's tough to see the difference between sensor measurements purely by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual below should offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S3300 and FH3.

As you can see, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Nikon S3300 to offer you greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures much more aggressively. The more modern S3300 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
