Casio EX-ZR10 vs Pentax XG-1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, its hard to visualize the difference in sensor dimensions just by researching specifications. The pic underneath may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-ZR10 and XG-1.
Plainly, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You can expect the Pentax XG-1 to result in extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures much more aggressively. The more aged EX-ZR10 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
