Panasonic FH7 vs Panasonic LF1 Sensor Comparison

Often, its difficult to imagine the difference in sensor sizes purely by seeing a spec sheet. The image underneath will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the FH7 and LF1.

Clearly, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The FH7 due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Panasonic FH7 will show greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged FH7 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
