Below you can see the FP3 and Galaxy Camera 2 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Panasonic FP3 and Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 Cameras
Panasonic FP3 and Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 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 FP3
or the
Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
