Panasonic FX75 vs Panasonic GF2 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing just by researching specifications. The graphic here should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the FX75 and GF2.

Plainly, both the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The FX75 because of its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Panasonic FX75 will result in more detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics much more aggressively. The older FX75 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
