The S6900 was unveiled 6 years after the FS7 which is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (Ultracompact).

Before getting straight into a step-by-step comparison, below is a short summation of how the S6900 matches up against the FS7 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon Coolpix S6900 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS7. The full galleries are viewable at Nikon S6900 Gallery and Panasonic FS7 Gallery.

In case you're looking to travel with your camera frequently, you will want to think about its weight and measurements.

Considering size and weight, the portability grade of the S6900 and FS7 is 93 and 95 respectively.

In many cases, it's difficult to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions simply by looking at technical specs. The pic here might give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the S6900 and FS7.

As you have seen, both of those cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The S6900 with its larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh simpler and the Nikon S6900 will resolve greater detail having an extra 6MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics much more aggressively. The more modern S6900 provides a benefit in sensor technology.
