Panasonic FZ28 vs Sony WX150 Sensor Comparison
Often, its hard to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The picture underneath will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the FZ28 and WX150.
Clearly, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Sony WX150 to offer greater detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged FZ28 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
