Often, it can be difficult to see the gap in sensor dimensions only by viewing a spec sheet. The pic here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-ZR1000 and FH1.
Clearly, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Casio EX-ZR1000 to result in extra detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images far more aggressively. The newer EX-ZR1000 will have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
