Casio EX-ZR1000 vs Panasonic ZS60 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it is very tough to imagine the gap between sensor measurements only by looking at a spec sheet. The graphic here will give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-ZR1000 and ZS60.
As you can see, each of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but different MP. You should expect to see the Panasonic ZS60 to resolve more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The older EX-ZR1000 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
