Olympus SP-810 UZ vs Panasonic ZS60 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, its tough to see the contrast between sensor sizes only by looking at technical specs. The image here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the SP-810 UZ and ZS60.
As you have seen, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Panasonic ZS60 to resolve more detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged SP-810 UZ is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
