Panasonic FS42 vs Sony T110 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very difficult to imagine the gap in sensor sizing just by viewing a spec sheet. The graphic here will give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the FS42 and T110.

As you can see, both cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The FS42 using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Sony T110 will provide you with greater detail using its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs more aggressively. The older FS42 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
