Panasonic FP3 vs Sigma Quattro H Sensor Comparison
Typically, it can be tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing only by reviewing specifications. The visual underneath should provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the FP3 and Quattro H.
Plainly, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The FP3 featuring a tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Sigma Quattro H will offer extra detail having its extra 31MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older FP3 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
