Panasonic FZ80 vs Samsung WB2200F Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very hard to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by checking out specs. The pic below should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the FZ80 and WB2200F.

As you can plainly see, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Panasonic FZ80 to produce extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images way more aggressively. The newer FZ80 will have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
