Panasonic ZS25 vs Sony W800 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes merely by going through technical specs. The pic here will give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the ZS25 and W800.
As you have seen, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Sony W800 to provide greater detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged ZS25 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
