Let's look a little more closely at the Panasonic SZ8 versus Samsung SL102, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Small Sensor Compact by manufacturers Panasonic and Samsung. There is a crucial difference between the resolutions of the SZ8 (16MP) and SL102 (10MP) but both cameras have the identical sensor dimensions (1/2.3").

The SZ8 was released 5 years after the SL102 which is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before we go into a step-by-step comparison, here is a brief highlight of how the SZ8 grades versus the SL102 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Panasonic Lumix DMC-SZ8 and Samsung SL102. The complete galleries are available at Panasonic SZ8 Gallery and Samsung SL102 Gallery.

For anybody who is intending to travel with your camera often, you'll need to factor in its weight and dimensions.

Generally, it is very hard to see the contrast between sensor dimensions only by reading through specifications. The picture underneath will help give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the SZ8 and SL102.

Plainly, both the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Panasonic SZ8 to resolve more detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos way more aggressively. The fresher SZ8 is going to have an edge in sensor technology.
