Casio EX-ZR400 vs Panasonic TS3 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it is difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizing just by reviewing specs. The visual here will provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-ZR400 and TS3.
All in all, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Casio EX-ZR400 to deliver more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics much more aggressively. The younger EX-ZR400 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
