Panasonic FS25 vs Sony S2000 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very hard to visualise the gap between sensor measurements only by reading a spec sheet. The graphic here will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the FS25 and S2000.

Clearly, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels.
