Panasonic FP8 has a
12.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.08 x 4.56 mm ) sized CCD sensor and features Venus Engine V processor. On the other hand, Kodak FZ45 has a
16.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Below you can see the FP8 and FZ45 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Panasonic FP8 and Kodak FZ45 Cameras
Panasonic FP8 and Kodak FZ45 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 FP8
or the
Kodak FZ45 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
