Panasonic 3D1 vs Samsung DV300F Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it is very hard to see the gap between sensor sizes merely by going over a spec sheet. The image underneath may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the 3D1 and DV300F.
Clearly, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Samsung DV300F to deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively.
