What is the sensor size of the Panasonic FZ1000?
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 is a digital camera that has an one-inch sensor at its core. This imager measures 13.2mm in width and 8.8mm in height, so that the total imaging area of the sensor amounts to 116 mm2.
The FZ1000 provides an image resolution of 20 megapixels, based on 5 472 horizontal pixels and 3 648 vertical pixels.
Sensor size comparison with a film slide
The sensor diagonal measures 15.9mm, which gives rise to a format factor (or crop factor) of 2.7. Hence, the Panasonic FZ1000 is a crop-sensor camera, as its sensor is smaller than a traditional 35mm film slide or negative.
Sensor specs and performance
The table below compares the sensor specs of the Panasonic FZ1000 to those of several similar cameras. The reported DXO values are indicators of the sensor's imaging quality (higher is better), covering color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape), and high-ISO noise (DXO Sports). Larger sensor cameras tend to outperform cameras of the same generation that are equipped with a smaller imager. On the other hand, larger sensors are more expensive and require bigger and heavier lenses than smaller light receptors.
