Casio EX-ZR300 vs Sony S2000 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
In many cases, it's hard to envision the difference between sensor dimensions merely by reviewing specs. The pic here may give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-ZR300 and S2000.
As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Casio EX-ZR300 to offer you greater detail with its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will let you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The fresher EX-ZR300 will have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
