Panasonic FZ47 vs Panasonic L10 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is hard to visualise the gap in sensor measurements purely by viewing specifications. The graphic underneath should give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the FZ47 and L10.

To sum up, both of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The FZ47 featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Panasonic FZ47 will render greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images a bit more aggressively. The newer FZ47 is going to have a benefit in sensor innovation.
