Canon SX130 IS vs Casio EX-ZR1000 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it can be hard to visualise the gap in sensor sizes just by checking out specs. The pic below should offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the SX130 IS and EX-ZR1000.
All in all, the two cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Casio EX-ZR1000 to provide more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged SX130 IS will be behind in sensor innovation.
