Panasonic 3D1 vs Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, its hard to see the gap in sensor dimensions merely by viewing a spec sheet. The picture underneath should give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 3D1 and Galaxy Camera 2.
As you can see, each of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 to result in greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics more aggressively. The more aged 3D1 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
