Canon SX510 HS vs Casio EX-ZR15 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it is tough to visualise the gap in sensor sizes merely by researching specs. The image here may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the SX510 HS and EX-ZR15.
All in all, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Casio EX-ZR15 to render extra detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The younger SX510 HS is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
