Often, it can be tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizing simply by reading specifications. The visual here will give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX240 HS and EX-ZR300.
Plainly, the two cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Casio EX-ZR300 to offer more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos more aggressively.
