Casio EX-ZR300 vs Pentax WG-10 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it can be tough to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions only by going through specifications. The image underneath should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-ZR300 and WG-10.
Plainly, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Casio EX-ZR300 to provide extra detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged EX-ZR300 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
