Canon 1200D vs Casio EX-ZR800 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it's tough to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements merely by checking out a spec sheet. The photograph underneath will offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 1200D and EX-ZR800.

Clearly, both of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 1200D having a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Canon 1200D will provide more detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos way more aggressively. The younger 1200D provides a benefit in sensor technology.
