Casio EX-ZR10 vs Epson R-D1 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very difficult to imagine the difference between sensor measurements merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The photograph here might give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-ZR10 and R-D1.

Clearly, both cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The EX-ZR10 using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Casio EX-ZR10 will offer you extra detail with its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The newer EX-ZR10 provides an edge in sensor tech.
