Casio EX-ZR1000 vs Panasonic ZS5 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Often, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by researching specifications. The picture here should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-ZR1000 and ZS5.
Plainly, each of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Casio EX-ZR1000 to provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a little more aggressively. The newer EX-ZR1000 is going to have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
