Casio EX-ZR1000 vs Nikon S3600 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Normally, it is very tough to see the gap between sensor sizing simply by checking specifications. The visual below might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-ZR1000 and S3600.
Plainly, both of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Nikon S3600 to give you more detail utilizing its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will help you crop pics more aggressively. The older EX-ZR1000 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
