Canon A3000 IS vs Casio EX-ZR300 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, it's tough to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions only by reading through technical specs. The image here should offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the A3000 IS and EX-ZR300.
As you have seen, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Casio EX-ZR300 to give you extra detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images much more aggressively. The more aged A3000 IS is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
