Casio EX-ZR300 vs Leica D-LUX 5 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it is difficult to envision the difference between sensor sizing simply by reading specifications. The photograph here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-ZR300 and D-LUX 5.
Plainly, the 2 cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The EX-ZR300 with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF trickier and the Casio EX-ZR300 will offer greater detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics way more aggressively. The younger EX-ZR300 is going to have an edge in sensor innovation.
