Casio EX-ZR100 vs Panasonic F5 Sensor Comparison

As you can tell, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but different resolution. You should anticipate the Panasonic F5 to give extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-ZR100 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
