Panasonic FZ150 vs Sony A200

Let's look more closely at the Panasonic FZ150 versus Sony A200, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Entry-Level DSLR by manufacturers Panasonic and Sony. The image resolution of the FZ150 (12MP) and the A200 (10MP) is very comparable but the FZ150 (1/2.3") and A200 (APS-C) provide totally different sensor size.

The FZ150 was revealed 3 years later than the A200 and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras have different body design with the Panasonic FZ150 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sony A200 being a Compact SLR camera.

Before getting into a in depth comparison, here is a concise synopsis of how the FZ150 matches up versus the A200 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Typically, it is tough to see the contrast in sensor measurements only by checking out specifications. The visual below might give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the FZ150 and A200.

To sum up, both of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The FZ150 with its smaller sensor will make getting shallow DOF more difficult and the Panasonic FZ150 will produce more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images more aggressively. The more modern FZ150 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
