Panasonic ZS30 vs Samsung WB750 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Generally, it's tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing purely by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph below may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the ZS30 and WB750.
Clearly, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Panasonic ZS30 to provide you with greater detail using its extra 5MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more modern ZS30 will have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
