Nikon P300 has a
12.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features Expeed C2 processor. On the other hand, Panasonic FH10 has a
16.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.08 x 4.56 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Below you can see the P300 and FH10 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Nikon P300 and Panasonic FH10 Cameras
Nikon P300 and Panasonic FH10 have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Nikon P300
or the
Panasonic FH10 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
