Panasonic FX700 vs Panasonic G85 Sensor Comparison

Typically, its hard to envision the contrast between sensor sizing simply by reading through a spec sheet. The visual underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the FX700 and G85.

As you can see, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The FX700 having a tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Panasonic G85 will give you more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older FX700 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
