FinePix F660 EXR by Sim (Oct, 2012)At the heart of this camera is a 1/2-inch CMOS sensor with an effective resolution of 16 megapixels.
FinePix F660 EXR by Retired-Tire-Engineer--Drew (Apr, 2013)I was concerned that the lens might not be up to the 16 megapixel sensor, but it seems to be very sharp.
sensor size
FinePix F660 EXR by Randy-Wakeman--Randy-Wakeman (Jun, 2012)This is why lower mega-pixel cameras with the same sensor size may well have better overall image quality.
FinePix F660 EXR by Randy-Wakeman--Randy-Wakeman (Jun, 2012)It is a bigger sensor, but even at approximately 15% increased size to a 1/2.3 it still rates as dinky.
wide angle lens
FinePix F660 EXR by D.-Guio--dwguio (Jul, 2012)Pro: size and weight, excellent wide angle shots, flash works well, quick light metering, VERY fast and easy uploads to my computer and Picasa using the supplied cable, good battery life, has a quality feel to it.
FinePix F660 EXR by Chuck (May, 2012)It has a great zoom, wide angle, panarama, and the best of all the EXR feature which I feel is great for using the camera on fully automatic.
aperture size
FinePix F660 EXR by Randy-Wakeman--Randy-Wakeman (Jun, 2012)In the case of low-light, sans flash, which is my version of low-light anyway, neither of these cameras have fast lens arrays or large sensors, the normal prescription for excellent low light captures.

FinePix F660 EXR by Randy-Wakeman--Randy-Wakeman (Jun, 2012)Fuji calls their version "intelligent zoom" while Panasonic calls their version "intelligent zoom" as well.

FinePix F660 EXR by Photography Blog (Jun, 2012)Priced at around £185 / $245, the Fujifilm FinePix F660EXR digital compact camera is available in Black, Red, Blue and Champagne Gold.
FinePix F660 EXR by Photography Blog (Jun, 2012)It feels solid thanks to the metal body but it also has a comfortable weight to it that gives you the satisfaction of actually holding something.

Fujifilm FinePix F660 EXR | Rated 60% by by Randy-Wakeman--Randy-Wakeman (Jun, 2012)Sensor: Perhaps the most interesting part of the Fuji F660 is this "stage two" version of its back-side illuminated EXR sensor, a 1/2 inch (6.4 x 4.8 mm) sensor sporting a higher resolution (16MP) than the 12MP Panasonic sensor, and a bit larger size than the 1/2.3 inch Panasonic sensor as well.
Fujifilm FinePix F660 EXR | Rated 60% by by Randy-Wakeman--Randy-Wakeman (Jun, 2012)A small sensor camera might have 1.9 microns square photo sites, while a DSLR might offer 5.2 microns square photo sites.

Fujifilm FinePix F660 EXR | Rated 80% by by Photography Blog (Jun, 2012)We love the image quality of the Fujifilm FinePix F660EXR, it just seems a little flat in the colour department.
Fujifilm FinePix F660 EXR | Rated 100% by by P.-Sites--birdnut (May, 2012)The pro-focus and pro-low light modes help create great photos, and the 5 film-simulation modes are fun to work with.
Video
Fujifilm FinePix F660 EXR | Rated 60% by by Randy-Wakeman--Randy-Wakeman (Jun, 2012)The Fuji is essentially video on or off, while the Panasonic adds a very large number of features ported over from its still image capture options.
