Panasonic FH7 vs Sony WX350 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it is very difficult to envision the contrast in sensor measurements simply by checking out specifications. The graphic below will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the FH7 and WX350.
To sum up, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Sony WX350 to show extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics much more aggressively. The older FH7 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
