Panasonic FH22 vs Panasonic LF1 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it can be difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing purely by viewing technical specs. The graphic here might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the FH22 and LF1.

As you have seen, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The FH22 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Panasonic FH22 will result in greater detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will help you crop photos far more aggressively. The older FH22 will be behind in sensor technology.
