Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Sony HX200V and Panasonic FZ70 Cameras
Sony HX200V and Panasonic FZ70 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.
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
Sony HX200V
or the
Panasonic FZ70 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
