Panasonic FX75 vs Panasonic FX78 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, its hard to see the gap between sensor dimensions just by looking at a spec sheet. The picture below will offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the FX75 and FX78.

Clearly, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Panasonic FX75 to give you extra detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged FX75 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
