Panasonic TS1 vs Panasonic TS25 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it's difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizing only by seeing a spec sheet. The graphic here may offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the TS1 and TS25.

Clearly, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Panasonic TS25 to provide more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos far more aggressively. The older TS1 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
