Casio EX-ZR1000 vs Panasonic ZS40 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Quite often, it's tough to picture the gap between sensor measurements purely by reviewing technical specs. The graphic underneath will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-ZR1000 and ZS40.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You should expect to see the Panasonic ZS40 to offer you extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos much more aggressively. The older EX-ZR1000 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
