Casio EX-ZR10 vs Samsung WB30F Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's tough to envision the difference in sensor sizing merely by going through a spec sheet. The graphic here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-ZR10 and WB30F.

Clearly, both the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Samsung WB30F to provide greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The older EX-ZR10 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
