Panasonic L10 vs Samsung GX-1L Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it's difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements simply by going through a spec sheet. The graphic underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the L10 and GX-1L.

As you can see, the 2 cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The L10 with its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Panasonic L10 will show greater detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The fresher L10 should have a benefit in sensor tech.
