Casio EX-ZR1000 vs Panasonic ZS80 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, it can be hard to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by going over specifications. The picture underneath may provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-ZR1000 and ZS80.
Plainly, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Panasonic ZS80 to deliver more detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The more aged EX-ZR1000 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
