Casio EX-G1 vs Panasonic ZS200 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The EX-G1 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Panasonic ZS200 will give you extra detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The older EX-G1 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
