Panasonic FH6 vs Samsung Galaxy Camera Sensor Comparison

Usually, its hard to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements just by going over specifications. The visual here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the FH6 and Galaxy Camera.

Plainly, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Samsung Galaxy Camera to offer you extra detail having an extra 2MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The older FH6 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
