Panasonic FX700 vs Panasonic TS4 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it can be tough to see the gap between sensor sizes just by going over specifications. The pic below may offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the FX700 and TS4.

Plainly, the two cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Panasonic FX700 to offer you extra detail having its extra 2 Megapixels.
