Casio EX-ZR1000 vs Panasonic ZS50 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
More often than not, it is very hard to envision the gap in sensor measurements only by seeing specifications. The visual here may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-ZR1000 and ZS50.
Plainly, both of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Casio EX-ZR1000 to provide greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older EX-ZR1000 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
