Casio EX-10 vs Panasonic ZS15 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Quite often, it is tough to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reading through technical specs. The pic underneath should offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-10 and ZS15.
As you have seen, each of the cameras provide the same megapixels but not the same sensor dimensions. The EX-10 offers the larger sensor which will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler. The more recent EX-10 will have an edge in sensor tech.
