Panasonic FZ300 has a
12.0MP (1/2. ) sized CMOS sensor and features Venus Engine processor. On the other hand, Canon SX620 HS has a
20.0MP 1/2.3 (6.17 x 4.55 mm) ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features DIGIC 4+ processor.
Canon SX620 HS's sensor provides 8MP more than Panasonic FZ300's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the FZ300 and SX620 HS sensor size comparison.
As seen above, Canon SX620 HS has a infx Larger sensor area than Panasonic FZ300. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
