Casio EX-ZR100 vs Olympus SH-3 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Often, it is very difficult to see the contrast in sensor sizes just by looking through specifications. The pic below will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-ZR100 and SH-3.
Plainly, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Olympus SH-3 to provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged EX-ZR100 will be behind in sensor innovation.
