Casio EX-ZR400 vs Panasonic ZS80 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, it's hard to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions only by going over specs. The image below may give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-ZR400 and ZS80.
As you can plainly see, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Panasonic ZS80 to offer you more detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged EX-ZR400 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
