Panasonic ZR3 has a
14.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.08 x 4.56 mm ) sized CCD sensor and features Venus Engine HD II processor. On the other hand, Fujifilm S9200 has a
16.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Below you can see the ZR3 and S9200 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Panasonic ZR3 and Fujifilm S9200 Cameras
Panasonic ZR3 and Fujifilm S9200 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 ZR3
or the
Fujifilm S9200 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
