Casio EX-ZR700 vs Nikon P500 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, its difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizes only by reading through technical specs. The picture below will help give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-ZR700 and P500.
As you have seen, both cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Casio EX-ZR700 to give you greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The younger EX-ZR700 will have an advantage in sensor tech.
