Casio EX-ZR15 vs Sony W800 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Generally, it can be difficult to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions only by looking through specs. The image below will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-ZR15 and W800.
As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Sony W800 to result in greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos more aggressively. The more aged EX-ZR15 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
