Canon SX240 HS vs Casio EX-ZR400 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it is difficult to see the difference in sensor sizing purely by seeing technical specs. The graphic below should provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX240 HS and EX-ZR400.
As you can tell, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Casio EX-ZR400 to produce more detail utilizing its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older SX240 HS will be behind in sensor technology.
