Canon SD4000 IS vs Casio EX-ZR300 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, its difficult to see the gap in sensor sizes simply by viewing a spec sheet. The pic here will give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the SD4000 IS and EX-ZR300.
As you can see, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Casio EX-ZR300 to result in more detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged SD4000 IS will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
