Panasonic TS1 vs Panasonic TS20 Sensor Comparison

Generally, its difficult to envision the contrast in sensor sizes purely by checking out a spec sheet. The pic underneath should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the TS1 and TS20.

Clearly, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Panasonic TS20 to produce extra detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged TS1 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
