Typically, its tough to picture the contrast in sensor measurements merely by researching specifications. The photograph here should give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the FH1 and HZ10W.

Plainly, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Panasonic FH1 to provide you with greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more modern FH1 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
