Panasonic FX700 vs Sony W710 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing merely by researching a spec sheet. The photograph underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the FX700 and W710.

As you can see, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Sony W710 to render extra detail using its extra 2MP.
