Panasonic FZ80 vs Panasonic LX10 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, its difficult to see the gap in sensor sizes simply by viewing specifications. The picture underneath will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the FZ80 and LX10.
Plainly, each of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The FZ80 due to its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower DOF trickier and the Panasonic LX10 will provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively.
