Casio EX-ZR1000 vs Pentax MX-1 Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, it is very tough to envision the gap in sensor dimensions purely by going through technical specs. The image underneath might provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-ZR1000 and MX-1.
As you have seen, both of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The EX-ZR1000 because of its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Casio EX-ZR1000 will provide more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The more aged EX-ZR1000 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
