Casio EX-ZR1000 vs Panasonic LZ40 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Oftentimes, its tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizes merely by checking technical specs. The pic underneath will help give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-ZR1000 and LZ40.
As you can tell, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Panasonic LZ40 to give extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged EX-ZR1000 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
