Casio EX-ZR15 vs Sony WX350 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it can be difficult to envision the difference between sensor measurements purely by looking at specifications. The photograph below will help give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-ZR15 and WX350.
Plainly, both of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Sony WX350 to give you extra detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs more aggressively. The older EX-ZR15 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
