Canon SX510 HS vs Casio EX-ZR300 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Generally, it is very hard to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing only by looking at specifications. The graphic here should give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX510 HS and EX-ZR300.
Plainly, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Casio EX-ZR300 to resolve more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The more modern SX510 HS is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
