Panasonic FZ100 vs Panasonic FZ47 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
More often than not, it is hard to visualize the gap between sensor sizes just by checking specifications. The image below might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the FZ100 and FZ47.
Plainly, the 2 cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different MP. You should expect the Panasonic FZ100 to give extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged FZ100 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
