Panasonic FX75 vs Panasonic GX850 Sensor Comparison

Often, it is difficult to envision the contrast between sensor sizing just by going over technical specs. The photograph underneath will give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the FX75 and GX850.

As you have seen, both of those cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The FX75 due to its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the Panasonic GX850 will offer extra detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics far more aggressively. The older FX75 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
