Sometimes, it is very hard to picture the gap in sensor sizing only by viewing a spec sheet. The graphic below should give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-ZR1000 and FH2.
Clearly, both cameras have the same sensor dimensions but different resolution. You can anticipate the Casio EX-ZR1000 to provide you with greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The newer EX-ZR1000 provides a benefit in sensor tech.
