Casio EX-ZR10 vs Panasonic ZS8 Sensor Comparison
More often than not, its tough to see the difference in sensor dimensions merely by viewing technical specs. The image underneath may provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-ZR10 and ZS8.
As you have seen, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Panasonic ZS8 to provide you with more detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images way more aggressively. The more aged EX-ZR10 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
