Olympus FE-3010 vs Panasonic FZ60 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Sometimes, it's difficult to see the contrast between sensor measurements merely by looking at specifications. The photograph below will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-3010 and FZ60.
Plainly, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Panasonic FZ60 to resolve extra detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The older FE-3010 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
