Casio EX-ZR100 vs Fujifilm S8500 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, it is difficult to see the difference between sensor measurements merely by going over a spec sheet. The graphic underneath may give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-ZR100 and Fujifilm S8500.
Clearly, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Fujifilm S8500 to offer you more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-ZR100 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
