Panasonic FS25 vs Ricoh PX Sensor Comparison

Typically, its hard to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions only by viewing technical specs. The pic below will provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the FS25 and PX.

As you have seen, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Ricoh PX to result in more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged FS25 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
