Panasonic FS7 vs Panasonic TS4 Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, it is very difficult to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions only by going through technical specs. The image underneath should give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the FS7 and TS4.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The FS7 with its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Panasonic TS4 will show extra detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images way more aggressively. The more aged FS7 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
