Panasonic FX75 vs Panasonic GH2 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very tough to picture the gap in sensor dimensions only by checking out specifications. The pic underneath will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the FX75 and GH2.

Plainly, both of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The FX75 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh tougher and the Panasonic GH2 will produce greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged FX75 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
