Casio EX-ZR1000 vs Samsung NX11 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very hard to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements just by checking out a spec sheet. The photograph below will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-ZR1000 and NX11.

Clearly, each of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX-ZR1000 due to its smaller sensor will make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Casio EX-ZR1000 will produce greater detail due to its extra 1MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images a little more aggressively. The newer EX-ZR1000 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
