Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 resolution comparison
In terms of horizontal resolution, the Panasonic Lumix TZ1 performs similarly to the Fujifilm F11 and Canon PowerShot A620, despite each having higher resolution 6 and 7 Megapixel sensors respectively. In terms of vertical resolution though, these higher resolution sensors allow both cameras to out-resolve the Panasonic TZ1, although if you compare the results with those from our earlier Compact Digital Camera Group Test, the TZ1 still out-resolves the Pentax Optio S6 despite having a lower resolution. Note the TZ1 aperture cannot be set manually, so we adjusted our lighting to force it to switch between its two aperture settings at the test focal length: f3.8 and f6.3; the former resolved noticeably more detail on the chart, so has been used on this page. ![]() We also reshot the latest test chart with the Fujifilm FinePix S9500 / S9000 at all apertures and found f5.6 to resolve the most detail, so the results here are taken at that setting. Here the Fujifilm S9500 / S9000 with its larger lens and 9 Megapixel sensor unsurprisingly resolves the greatest detail, but it’s also important to see how this influences real-life results – see previous page. |
