Panasonic FH2 vs Panasonic L10

Lets look much closer at the Panasonic FH2 versus Panasonic L10, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the other is a Advanced DSLR and both of them are designed by Panasonic. There exists a significant gap among the sensor resolutions of the FH2 (14MP) and L10 (10MP) and the FH2 (1/2.3") and L10 (Four Thirds) provide different sensor dimensions.

The FH2 was introduced 3 years later than the L10 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Panasonic FH2 being a Compact camera and the Panasonic L10 being a Mid-size SLR camera.

Before getting right into a complete comparison, here is a brief summation of how the FH2 matches up vs the L10 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH2 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10. The whole galleries are provided at Panasonic FH2 Gallery and Panasonic L10 Gallery.

In case you're planning to carry your camera frequently, you need to consider its weight and dimensions.

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you are using at that time. Below is a front view size comparison of the FH2 compared to the L10.

More often than not, it is very difficult to picture the contrast in sensor sizing only by going through a spec sheet. The visual here will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the FH2 and L10.

Clearly, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The FH2 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Panasonic FH2 will show extra detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The fresher FH2 provides a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
