Panasonic 3D1 vs Panasonic ZS60 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it's difficult to visualise the gap in sensor measurements simply by going through a spec sheet. The graphic below will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the 3D1 and ZS60.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Panasonic ZS60 to show more detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos much more aggressively. The older 3D1 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
