Panasonic FH2 vs Panasonic FH6

Here is a in-depth review of the Panasonic FH2 versus Panasonic FH6, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras and both of them are offered by Panasonic. The resolution of the FH2 (14MP) and the FH6 (14MP) is pretty well matched and both cameras provide the identical sensor sizing (1/2.3").

The FH2 was introduced 12 months before the FH6 which means that they are both of a similar generation. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before diving into a more detailed comparison, here is a short introduction of how the FH2 grades vs the FH6 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

This is a preview of the gallery images for Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH2 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH6. The whole galleries are provided at Panasonic FH2 Gallery and Panasonic FH6 Gallery.

When you are looking to carry your camera often, you will want to consider its weight and proportions. The Panasonic FH2 has external measurements of 94mm x 54mm x 19mm (3.7" x 2.1" x 0.7") and a weight of 121 grams (0.27 lbs) whilst the Panasonic FH6 has measurements of 96mm x 56mm x 20mm (3.8" x 2.2" x 0.8") accompanied by a weight of 119 grams (0.26 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you are utilising at that time. Below is a front view measurements comparison of the FH2 compared to the FH6.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability score of the FH2 and FH6 is 96 and 96 respectively.

More often than not, it is difficult to visualise the difference between sensor sizing merely by reading through a spec sheet. The visual underneath may provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the FH2 and FH6.

As you can see, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size and the identical resolution therefore you should expect similar quality of images but you may want to consider the production date of the products into consideration. The older FH2 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
