Casio EX-ZR15 vs Olympus SP-565UZ Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it is very difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizing merely by reading specs. The photograph here might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-ZR15 and SP-565UZ.
As you can plainly see, both of those cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Casio EX-ZR15 to deliver greater detail using its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images far more aggressively. The more recent EX-ZR15 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
