Panasonic FH20 vs Panasonic TS25 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizes only by reading a spec sheet. The picture below should provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the FH20 and TS25.

As you can see, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Panasonic TS25 to offer you more detail utilizing its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged FH20 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
