Panasonic FH3 vs Panasonic LF1

Here, we are matching up the Panasonic FH3 vs Panasonic LF1, both Small Sensor Compact cameras and both of them are produced by Panasonic. The resolution of the FH3 (14MP) and the LF1 (12MP) is fairly comparable but the FH3 (1/2.3") and LF1 (1/1.7") provide totally different sensor size.

The FH3 was introduced 4 years earlier than the LF1 which is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before delving straight to a thorough comparison, here is a quick summation of how the FH3 grades vs the LF1 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH3 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1. The whole galleries are viewable at Panasonic FH3 Gallery and Panasonic LF1 Gallery.

When you are intending to carry around your camera frequently, you're going to have to factor its weight and size.

Oftentimes, it's hard to visualise the difference in sensor sizes merely by seeing specifications. The picture here will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the FH3 and LF1.

To sum up, each of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The FH3 using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the Panasonic FH3 will produce greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images way more aggressively. The more aged FH3 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
