Casio EX-ZR1000 vs Nikon Z7

Let's look more closely at the Casio EX-ZR1000 versus Nikon Z7, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Pro Mirrorless by manufacturers Casio and Nikon. There is a crucial difference among the sensor resolutions of the EX-ZR1000 (16MP) and Z7 (46MP) and the EX-ZR1000 (1/2.3") and Z7 (Full frame) offer totally different sensor measurements.

Photography Glossary

The EX-ZR1000 was brought out 6 years before the Z7 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Casio EX-ZR1000 being a Compact camera and the Nikon Z7 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting right into a in depth comparison, here is a short overview of how the EX-ZR1000 matches up vs the Z7 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you have during that time. Underneath is a front view sizing comparison of the EX-ZR1000 against the Z7.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability rating of the EX-ZR1000 and Z7 is 90 and 62 respectively.

Often, it is very hard to visualise the difference in sensor measurements just by checking out technical specs. The photograph here will provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-ZR1000 and Z7.

As you have seen, each of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX-ZR1000 featuring a smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Nikon Z7 will provide extra detail having its extra 30 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics way more aggressively. The older EX-ZR1000 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
