Panasonic FH22 vs Panasonic FZ70 Sensor Comparison
Often, its tough to picture the gap in sensor sizing only by checking out specifications. The photograph below should offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the FH22 and FZ70.
Plainly, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Panasonic FZ70 to produce more detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older FH22 will be behind in sensor tech.
