Panasonic 3D1 vs Panasonic TS25 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, its tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizing purely by checking a spec sheet. The graphic below should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the 3D1 and TS25.

As you can see, both of those cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Panasonic TS25 to give you greater detail utilizing its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics more aggressively. The older 3D1 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
