Olympus SP-610UZ vs Panasonic ZS60 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it's hard to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing just by reading specs. The photograph here will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the SP-610UZ and ZS60.
As you can plainly see, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Panasonic ZS60 to offer more detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos much more aggressively. The older SP-610UZ is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
