Panasonic FH22 vs Panasonic FZ80

Let's look a little more closely at the Panasonic FH22 versus Panasonic FZ80, one is a Small Sensor Compact and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom and they are both designed by Panasonic. There exists a crucial gap between the resolutions of the FH22 (14MP) and FZ80 (18MP) but they feature the exact same sensor sizing (1/2.3").

The FH22 was introduced 8 years before the FZ80 which is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras come with different body type with the Panasonic FH22 being a Compact camera and the Panasonic FZ80 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going straight into a detailed comparison, below is a short synopsis of how the FH22 matches up against the FZ80 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH22 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ80. The whole galleries are provided at Panasonic FH22 Gallery and Panasonic FZ80 Gallery.

Typically, its hard to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by reading through technical specs. The pic here will provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the FH22 and FZ80.

As you have seen, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You should expect to see the Panasonic FZ80 to resolve greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged FH22 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
