Panasonic TS1 vs Pentax 645D Sensor Comparison
In many cases, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing only by researching specifications. The photograph underneath should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the TS1 and 645D.
Plainly, each of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The TS1 featuring a smaller sensor will make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Pentax 645D will result in extra detail as a result of its extra 28 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The older TS1 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
