Casio EX-ZR1000 vs Panasonic LX7 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, its tough to see the contrast between sensor sizes simply by looking at a spec sheet. The pic here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-ZR1000 and LX7.
As you can see, the two cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The EX-ZR1000 using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Casio EX-ZR1000 will give you extra detail having an extra 6MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively.
