Casio EX-ZR300 vs Fujifilm IS Pro Sensor Comparison

Usually, its difficult to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions just by going through specs. The pic underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-ZR300 and Fujifilm IS Pro.

As you can plainly see, both the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The EX-ZR300 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Casio EX-ZR300 will produce more detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The newer EX-ZR300 should have an advantage in sensor technology.
