Panasonic LF1 vs Panasonic ZS25

Below is a extended analysis of the Panasonic LF1 versus Panasonic ZS25, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom and both are offered by Panasonic. There exists a crucial gap among the image resolutions of the LF1 (12MP) and ZS25 (16MP) and the LF1 (1/1.7") and ZS25 (1/2.3") feature totally different sensor measurements.

The LF1 was brought out 11 months later than the ZS25 so they are both of a similar generation. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before delving in to a step-by-step comparison, below is a brief summation of how the LF1 grades against the ZS25 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS25. The entire galleries are viewable at Panasonic LF1 Gallery and Panasonic ZS25 Gallery.

For anybody who is looking to lug around your camera regularly, you will need to factor its weight and volume. The Panasonic LF1 provides physical measurements of 103mm x 62mm x 28mm (4.1" x 2.4" x 1.1") and a weight of 192 grams (0.42 lbs) while the Panasonic ZS25 has sizing of 105mm x 59mm x 28mm (4.1" x 2.3" x 1.1") and a weight of 193 grams (0.43 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Following is the front view measurement comparison of the LF1 versus the ZS25.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the LF1 and ZS25 is 92 and 93 respectively.

Normally, it is tough to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements purely by seeing a spec sheet. The graphic here might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the LF1 and ZS25.

Clearly, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The LF1 because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Panasonic ZS25 will provide greater detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The newer LF1 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
