Casio EX-ZR700 vs Nikon Z7 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it can be tough to picture the difference between sensor sizing only by looking at a spec sheet. The graphic here will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-ZR700 and Z7.

Clearly, both the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The EX-ZR700 using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Nikon Z7 will resolve extra detail because of its extra 30MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The older EX-ZR700 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
