Canon SX120 IS vs Casio EX-ZR400 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it is tough to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by going through specifications. The picture here will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX120 IS and EX-ZR400.
Plainly, both of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The SX120 IS due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF trickier and the Casio EX-ZR400 will provide greater detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The more aged SX120 IS will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
