Panasonic FZ100 vs Panasonic FZ70 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it is very difficult to visualize the difference in sensor measurements purely by checking out specifications. The graphic underneath will give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the FZ100 and FZ70.
Plainly, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different MP. You can anticipate the Panasonic FZ70 to provide extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics far more aggressively. The older FZ100 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
