Canon SX420 IS vs Casio EX-ZR700 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, it's hard to envision the gap in sensor sizes purely by researching specifications. The pic below will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the SX420 IS and EX-ZR700.
Plainly, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Canon SX420 IS to provide you with greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos way more aggressively. The more recent SX420 IS will have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
