Casio EX-H30 vs Panasonic ZS80 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it is difficult to see the gap between sensor sizing only by reading specs. The visual here may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-H30 and ZS80.
As you can plainly see, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Panasonic ZS80 to offer you greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots far more aggressively. The older EX-H30 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
