Casio EX-ZR1000 vs Nikon S640 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it is very hard to see the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by checking out a spec sheet. The pic here may offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-ZR1000 and S640.
Clearly, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Casio EX-ZR1000 to show more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more recent EX-ZR1000 will have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
