Panasonic ZS1 vs Sony H90 Sensor Comparison
Typically, it is very difficult to envision the contrast between sensor sizing purely by checking specifications. The photograph underneath will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the ZS1 and H90.
Plainly, the 2 cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The ZS1 because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Sony H90 will give greater detail having its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older ZS1 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
