Nikon Z5 vs Panasonic FX75 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's tough to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements merely by viewing specifications. The visual here may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the Z5 and FX75.

Plainly, both of those cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Z5 featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Nikon Z5 will result in extra detail as a result of its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos more aggressively. The more recent Z5 should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
