Lets look closer at the Panasonic FH10 and Panasonic TS1, former being a Small Sensor Compact while the other is a Waterproof and both are sold by Panasonic. There is a considerable difference between the sensor resolutions of the FH10 (16MP) and TS1 (12MP) but they feature the exact same sensor sizing (1/2.3").

The FH10 was unveiled 4 years later than the TS1 and that is quite a large difference as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before delving in to a comprehensive comparison, below is a brief introduction of how the FH10 matches up versus the TS1 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH10 & Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1. The full galleries are available at Panasonic FH10 Gallery & Panasonic TS1 Gallery.

If you are intending to lug around your camera often, you should consider its weight and dimensions.

Generally, it is difficult to visualise the difference between sensor measurements merely by looking at a spec sheet. The visual here will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the FH10 and TS1.

Clearly, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Panasonic FH10 to give greater detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The fresher FH10 is going to have an edge in sensor innovation.
