Panasonic ZS60 vs Ricoh PX Sensor Comparison

Usually, its difficult to imagine the gap in sensor sizes simply by going through a spec sheet. The image underneath should offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the ZS60 and PX.

Clearly, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You can count on the Panasonic ZS60 to provide more detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The younger ZS60 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
