Panasonic 3D1 vs Samsung DV150F Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is hard to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions just by checking specifications. The pic underneath will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the 3D1 and DV150F.

Plainly, both of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but different resolution. You should expect to see the Samsung DV150F to give greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images more aggressively. The more aged 3D1 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
