Usually, it is difficult to envision the contrast between sensor sizes merely by reviewing specifications. The pic underneath should give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-ZR400 and GXR A12 50mm F2.5 Macro.
Plainly, both of those cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The EX-ZR400 due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Casio EX-ZR400 will offer you more detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The younger EX-ZR400 is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
