Casio EX-ZR10 vs Panasonic F5 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very tough to picture the gap between sensor dimensions purely by checking a spec sheet. The image here should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-ZR10 and F5.

Clearly, each of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different MP. You should expect the Panasonic F5 to resolve greater detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged EX-ZR10 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
