Panasonic FZ60 vs Sony HX10V Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Sometimes, it's tough to envision the difference between sensor sizes only by reading specs. The image here should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the FZ60 and HX10V.
As you can plainly see, each of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Sony HX10V to offer more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos much more aggressively.
