Casio EX-ZR10 vs Panasonic XS1 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it's tough to visualise the gap in sensor measurements only by looking through specs. The photograph below will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-ZR10 and XS1.

All in all, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Panasonic XS1 to result in extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics much more aggressively. The older EX-ZR10 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
