Panasonic ZS60 has a
18.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Venus Engine processor. On the other hand, Fujifilm JX370 has a
14.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Below you can see the ZS60 and JX370 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Panasonic ZS60 and Fujifilm JX370 Cameras
Panasonic ZS60 and Fujifilm JX370 have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture. On the other hand, since Fujifilm JX370 has 30% larger pixel area (2.04µm 2 vs 1.56µm 2 ) compared to Panasonic ZS60, it has larger pixel area to collect light hence potential to have less noise in low light / High ISO images.
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 ZS60
or the
Fujifilm JX370 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
