Panasonic 3D1 vs Panasonic LF1

Lets examine more closely at the Panasonic 3D1 vs Panasonic LF1, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras and they are both designed by Panasonic. The sensor resolution of the 3D1 (12MP) and the LF1 (12MP) is relatively similar but the 3D1 (1/2.3") and LF1 (1/1.7") enjoy different sensor size.

The 3D1 was brought out 3 years before the LF1 which is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before going in to a thorough comparison, below is a brief view of how the 3D1 grades against the LF1 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

If you're planning to travel with your camera often, you're going to have to take into account its weight and proportions. The Panasonic 3D1 enjoys external measurements of 108mm x 58mm x 24mm (4.3" x 2.3" x 0.9") with a weight of 193 grams (0.43 lbs) while the Panasonic LF1 has measurements of 103mm x 62mm x 28mm (4.1" x 2.4" x 1.1") with a weight of 192 grams (0.42 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you are utilizing at that time. Underneath is the front view dimensions comparison of the 3D1 vs the LF1.

Looking at size and weight, the portability score of the 3D1 and LF1 is 93 and 92 respectively.

Usually, it is very difficult to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions just by reading a spec sheet. The picture below will help offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the 3D1 and LF1.

Clearly, the two cameras offer the same exact MP albeit different sensor dimensions. The 3D1 comes with the tinier sensor which is going to make obtaining shallower DOF tougher. The more aged 3D1 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
