Casio EX-FS10 vs Casio EX-ZR15 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Casio EX-ZR15 to render greater detail using its extra 7 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged EX-FS10 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
