Panasonic FX700 vs Samsung DV300F Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very hard to imagine the gap between sensor sizing purely by looking at a spec sheet. The graphic here may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the FX700 and DV300F.

Clearly, each of these cameras feature the identical sensor size but different MP. You should expect to see the Samsung DV300F to give greater detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos way more aggressively. The older FX700 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
