Panasonic FH10 vs Panasonic LX10 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it's tough to visualize the difference between sensor sizes simply by reading specifications. The pic underneath may offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the FH10 and LX10.

Plainly, each of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The FH10 because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Panasonic LX10 will offer more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots more aggressively. The more aged FH10 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
