Panasonic S1H vs Panasonic FH3 Sensor Comparison

Generally, it is very tough to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements simply by researching technical specs. The photograph here will offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S1H and FH3.

As you have seen, both the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The S1H featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Panasonic S1H will result in greater detail having its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a little more aggressively. The younger S1H provides a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
