Panasonic FX75 vs Sony WX70 Sensor Comparison

Often, it is very tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizes purely by reading through specs. The picture here might give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the FX75 and WX70.

All in all, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Sony WX70 to give you extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images much more aggressively. The more aged FX75 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
