Panasonic FZ35 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, Fujifilm S8200 has a
16.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor .
Below you can see the FZ35 and S8200 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Panasonic FZ35 and Fujifilm S8200 Cameras
Panasonic FZ35 and Fujifilm S8200 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 FZ35
or the
Fujifilm S8200 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
