Panasonic F5 vs Panasonic G10 Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it's hard to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by looking through specs. The image underneath will help give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the F5 and G10.
As you can plainly see, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The F5 with its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field tougher and the Panasonic F5 will provide you with more detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The younger F5 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
