20.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Below you can see the FH7 and S3600 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Panasonic FH7 and Nikon S3600 Cameras
Panasonic FH7 and Nikon S3600 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 FH7
or the
Nikon S3600 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
