Panasonic FZ60 vs Sony RX100 V

Below is a extended overview of the Panasonic FZ60 versus Sony RX100 V, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Large Sensor Compact by rivals Panasonic and Sony. The image resolution of the FZ60 (16MP) and the RX100 V (20MP) is pretty close but the FZ60 (1/2.3") and RX100 V (1") offer totally different sensor size.

The FZ60 was manufactured 5 years earlier than the RX100 V and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras have different body design with the Panasonic FZ60 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sony RX100 V being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before diving into a full comparison, here is a concise introduction of how the FZ60 scores against the RX100 V with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Sometimes, it's tough to visualise the difference in sensor measurements purely by viewing specifications. The graphic here should give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the FZ60 and RX100 V.

Plainly, both of those cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The FZ60 because of its smaller sensor will make shooting bokeh harder and the Sony RX100 V will render greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older FZ60 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
