Canon ELPH 330 HS vs Pentax RZ10 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
More often than not, it can be difficult to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by viewing specs. The pic underneath will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the ELPH 330 HS and RZ10.
As you can plainly see, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Pentax RZ10 to result in greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The younger ELPH 330 HS is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
