Panasonic FH25 vs Panasonic LF1 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, its tough to picture the gap in sensor sizing just by researching a spec sheet. The graphic here will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the FH25 and LF1.

Clearly, both of those cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The FH25 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF tougher and the Panasonic FH25 will provide you with more detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older FH25 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
