Casio EX-ZR15 vs Nikon S3600 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Normally, its hard to picture the difference in sensor sizing merely by checking out specifications. The photograph below will give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-ZR15 and S3600.
Plainly, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You can expect the Nikon S3600 to show extra detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older EX-ZR15 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
