Panasonic ZS200 vs Sigma DP2x Sensor Comparison

Generally, it's hard to envision the contrast in sensor sizes only by researching specifications. The pic underneath may give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the ZS200 and DP2x.

Plainly, the 2 cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The ZS200 featuring a smaller sensor will make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Panasonic ZS200 will result in more detail having its extra 15 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The younger ZS200 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
