Panasonic FZ200 vs Samsung GX-10 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it's hard to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements just by looking at specifications. The visual underneath may offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the FZ200 and GX-10.

Plainly, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The FZ200 because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF more difficult and the Panasonic FZ200 will resolve extra detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The younger FZ200 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
