Casio EX-ZR1000 vs Sony WX500 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Quite often, it is very tough to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements only by going over specifications. The photograph here will offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-ZR1000 and WX500.
Plainly, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different MP. You should expect the Sony WX500 to deliver greater detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-ZR1000 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
