Panasonic FX75 vs Sony WX50 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is very tough to envision the gap between sensor sizes purely by reading specifications. The pic below might give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the FX75 and WX50.
To sum up, both of those cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Sony WX50 to deliver more detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images a little more aggressively. The more aged FX75 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
