Panasonic FH2 vs Samsung TL220 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, it is very difficult to picture the difference between sensor sizes merely by looking at specifications. The image underneath will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the FH2 and TL220.
Plainly, each of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different MP. You can expect the Panasonic FH2 to resolve greater detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The younger FH2 provides an edge in sensor tech.
