Canon A3000 IS vs Casio EX-ZR400 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it is difficult to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions only by looking through specifications. The picture below may give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the A3000 IS and EX-ZR400.
To sum up, the two cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Casio EX-ZR400 to result in greater detail having an extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged A3000 IS will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
