Panasonic F5 vs Panasonic FS25 Sensor Comparison
Normally, its tough to envision the difference between sensor dimensions just by reviewing a spec sheet. The image underneath will provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the F5 and FS25.
Clearly, the 2 cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Panasonic F5 to offer you extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The fresher F5 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
