Panasonic FS7 vs Panasonic TS25 Sensor Comparison

Normally, its hard to picture the difference between sensor measurements only by checking specs. The visual underneath will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the FS7 and TS25.

All in all, both of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The FS7 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Panasonic TS25 will resolve greater detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older FS7 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
