In many cases, it is hard to visualize the difference in sensor sizes just by viewing specifications. The pic here might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the SX240 HS and EX-ZR800.
Plainly, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Casio EX-ZR800 to result in greater detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged SX240 HS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
