Nikon D700 vs Panasonic L10 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it's tough to envision the gap in sensor sizing merely by checking out specs. The visual here might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the D700 and L10.

All in all, both the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The D700 using its larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Nikon D700 will produce more detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics far more aggressively. The more recent D700 will have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
