Panasonic ZS200 vs Panasonic 3D1 Sensor Comparison

Generally, it is very hard to see the difference in sensor sizing merely by seeing a spec sheet. The photograph here will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the ZS200 and 3D1.

Clearly, each of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The ZS200 because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Panasonic ZS200 will produce greater detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images far more aggressively. The newer ZS200 is going to have a benefit in sensor innovation.
