Panasonic FX700 vs Panasonic FZ1000 Sensor Comparison

As you have seen, both of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The FX700 featuring a tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF trickier and the Panasonic FZ1000 will give greater detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged FX700 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
