Quite often, it is very difficult to envision the contrast in sensor sizing purely by looking through technical specs. The visual underneath should provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-ZR300 and Fujifilm S4500.
As you can tell, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Casio EX-ZR300 to render greater detail utilizing its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos far more aggressively.
