What is the Image Sensor size? And what is the optical zoom?

The sensor is one half the size of a 35mm frame. So, a little smaller than APS-C a little bigger than the Nikon 1 and far larger than compact point and shoots. The lens is a 14mm to 42mm which is the same as a 28mm to 84mm on a full frame camera. That works out to a 3x zoom.

The sensor size is the one written in the description and all over the internet. Same goes for the optical zoom.

The sensor is an impressive 16MP. This is a full featured three-quartered 35MM digital camera with numerous interchangeable lenses. There is no optical zoom; you change lenses for whatever you wish to photograph: wide angle, macro, standard, and several zoom lenses.

It has a 4mm focal length, with a 54 degree viewing angle. The lens and camera were exactly what I wanted. The night vision was great. The software was a nightmare.

This is the size of the CCD sensor, generally the bigger the sensor the better. Do a little research as to why that is the case.

The optical resolution is 5300 dpi. It is up to you to select the dpi, as a 6x9 cm film would demand a very fast computer to handle the large scanned file size!

I believe the optical zoom is the only difference. It is 24x vs. 30x optical zoom.

I believe you (ranthon007) are operating under a false assumption. Regardless of what image size you choose to use, the actual physical pixels on the sensor must necessarily remain the size they are, and if that's too small to let in the ideal amount of light, well then you're stuck. I'm not sure whether smaller output sizes are done by rescaling or by simply using fewer of the pixels (i.e. not the whole sensor), but while you MAY be gaining some reduction of noise, there is NOT an actual increase of detail.(Anyone please correct me if any of the above is in at all incorrect!)

24 mm. The range is 24 to 120 mm. The sensor is large for such a small camera and the optics are excellent. Its solid metal construction exudes quality and it's literally pocketable. If you are in the market for a quality travel or everyday carry camera, I can recommend this without reservation.

It is 50mm on a aps sensor and 35mm on a full frame. Normally landscapes are shot with a wider angle lens.

The sensor is "FX," that is, full frame, relative to 35 mm film. The camera switches to "AFS-C," that is, crop, with DX lenses automatically or on command from the menu.

It has 5x optical zoom and 10x zoom digital. Great camera for water and those who don't want to worry about drops and adult beverages and family vacation with a toddler playing with a camera!

This is a fixed focal length. Does not zoom. One of my favorites. Amazing sharpness and low light performance.

I don't know the DPI, but the image sizes from my scans ran from 1.1 to 2.8 MB with most of them around 1.4 to 1.8. So, the clarity is good. These photos look sharp when I display them on my large screen TV

I am not sure - but the zoom did not work when I received it and I returned it...

The focal length multiplier (crop factor) is 1.6x. It uses the same sensor as the EOS T4i.

is a 7x Optical zoom, but my camera doesn't work since 1 month ago, so i don't recommend you purchase that camera.

Pixels, schmixels. Sensor size is more important. You will never be able to the tell the difference between 12 MP and 16 MP with this camera's sensor. Carrying around extra useless pixels just makes bigger files with essentially no improvement in quality.

this might help you i measured an object at normal 3 inches. 1st zoom was 41/2 inches, 2nd zoom was 51/2 inches, and the third zoom was over 8 inches. The main problem with zooming with this product is the zoom stays on the screen, and you cannot take it off as long you have the zoom feature beyond the normal screen. By the way, if you haven't purchased this product yet, think twice. It tends to hiccup on audio and video. Panasonic customer service cannot give you an adequate reason why it does that. ....................irene
