Panasonic FX700 vs Panasonic LX100 Sensor Comparison

Usually, its difficult to envision the difference in sensor dimensions simply by checking out specifications. The image underneath may give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the FX700 and LX100.

To sum up, both cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The FX700 with its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF tougher and the Panasonic FX700 will produce extra detail using its extra 1MP. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged FX700 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
