Casio EX-ZR1000 vs FujiFilm JZ500 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it can be hard to see the contrast between sensor sizes only by looking at specs. The pic below will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-ZR1000 and JZ500.
As you can plainly see, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Casio EX-ZR1000 to resolve extra detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics far more aggressively. The more modern EX-ZR1000 will have an edge in sensor tech.
