The following is a thorough review of the Panasonic ZS60 versus Ricoh CX6, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by brands Panasonic and Ricoh. There is a substantial difference between the resolutions of the ZS60 (18MP) and CX6 (10MP) but both cameras provide the same sensor dimensions (1/2.3").

The ZS60 was released 4 years after the CX6 which is quite a big difference as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before going into a complete comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the ZS60 grades versus the CX6 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS60 & Ricoh CX6. The complete galleries are available at Panasonic ZS60 Gallery & Ricoh CX6 Gallery.

When you are going to travel with your camera, you will want to think about its weight and measurements.

Generally, it is hard to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions purely by looking at specifications. The picture here will offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the ZS60 and CX6.

Plainly, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Panasonic ZS60 to resolve more detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a bit more aggressively. The younger ZS60 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
