Panasonic FH25 vs Sony WX350 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it is very difficult to imagine the gap in sensor sizing simply by going through specs. The photograph underneath might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the FH25 and WX350.
All in all, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions but different resolution. You can anticipate the Sony WX350 to show more detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older FH25 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
