Panasonic ZS70 vs Samsung SL202 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it can be tough to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements merely by checking out specifications. The graphic here might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the ZS70 and SL202.

Plainly, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Panasonic ZS70 to produce greater detail due to its extra 10MP.
