Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Nikon S8200 and Panasonic ZS99 Cameras
Nikon S8200 and Panasonic ZS99 have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with 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 S8200
or the
Panasonic ZS99 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
