Casio EX-ZR100 vs Sony H70 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very hard to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements simply by looking through technical specs. The visual here should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-ZR100 and H70.

As you have seen, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Sony H70 to provide you with more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The younger EX-ZR100 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
