Casio EX-ZR300 vs Nikon A900 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it is difficult to visualise the difference in sensor sizing purely by going through specifications. The visual underneath might provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-ZR300 and A900.
Plainly, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Nikon A900 to provide more detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older EX-ZR300 will be behind in sensor tech.
