Panasonic F5 vs Samsung TL100 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it can be tough to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements simply by seeing a spec sheet. The photograph here should give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the F5 and TL100.

Clearly, the two cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Panasonic F5 to produce extra detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images a bit more aggressively. The fresher F5 is going to have an edge in sensor innovation.
