Casio EX-ZR10 vs Samsung GX-1S Sensor Comparison

Plainly, both of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The EX-ZR10 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Casio EX-ZR10 will give you more detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots a little more aggressively. The younger EX-ZR10 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
