Panasonic FH10 vs Pentax Q7 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, its tough to see the difference between sensor measurements purely by reviewing specifications. The photograph here will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the FH10 and Q7.
To sum up, the two cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The FH10 having a tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Panasonic FH10 will deliver greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will help you crop photos far more aggressively. The older FH10 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
