Panasonic DMC-FZ30 resolution comparison
![]() |
To measure resolving power we photographed
the standard ISO 12233 test chart with each camera set to its best quality
JPEG settings. We then set the lenses to f8 using Aperture Priority mode.
The crops are taken from the originals and presented here at 100%. Each
number represents 100 lines per picture height (lpph), so a figure of 18
means a resolution of 1800 lpph. With 1700 and 1750 lpph of horizontal and vertical resolution respectively, the FZ30 roughly matches the performance of Canon's EOS-350D with its kit lens. Both cameras are out-resolved by the Fujifilm and Sony models, a result which corresponds to their respective Megapixel ratings. |
