Samsung TL225 has a
12.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.08 x 4.56 mm ) sized CCD sensor . On the other hand, Panasonic FH8 has a
16.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.08 x 4.56 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Below you can see the TL225 and FH8 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Samsung TL225 and Panasonic FH8 Cameras
Samsung TL225 and Panasonic FH8 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 Samsung TL225 has 32% larger pixel area compared to Panasonic FH8, it has potential to collect more light on pixel level hence 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
Samsung TL225
or the
Panasonic FH8 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
