Panasonic FZ60 vs Panasonic ZS70 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is difficult to envision the difference in sensor dimensions simply by looking through specifications. The picture below might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the FZ60 and ZS70.
Plainly, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Panasonic ZS70 to provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged FZ60 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
