Panasonic ZS99 has a
20.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features Venus Engine processor. On the other hand, Panasonic FP7 has a
16.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.08 x 4.56 mm ) sized CCD sensor and features Venus Engine IV processor.
Below you can see the ZS99 and FP7 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Panasonic ZS99 and Panasonic FP7 Cameras
Panasonic ZS99 and Panasonic FP7 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
Panasonic ZS99
or the
Panasonic FP7 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
