Casio EX-ZR1000 vs Panasonic FZ80 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, its difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing just by going through a spec sheet. The visual here should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-ZR1000 and FZ80.
Clearly, each of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Panasonic FZ80 to produce more detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs more aggressively. The older EX-ZR1000 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
