Oftentimes, it can be tough to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by researching specifications. The image here will help give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the 8010 and FH2.
To sum up, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Panasonic FH2 to provide you with extra detail with its extra 1MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images much more aggressively. The more aged 8010 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
