Generally, it is tough to imagine the gap between sensor sizes just by reviewing specifications. The pic underneath may offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-Z280 and EX-ZR700.
Plainly, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different MP. You can expect the Casio EX-ZR700 to offer you extra detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z280 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
