Casio EX-ZR700 vs Panasonic FZ150 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it is very tough to visualise the difference in sensor measurements just by checking out technical specs. The graphic below may provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-ZR700 and FZ150.
As you can tell, both of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Casio EX-ZR700 to provide extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos way more aggressively. The newer EX-ZR700 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
