Casio EX-ZR700 vs Panasonic LX7 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Generally, it's tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizes simply by seeing a spec sheet. The picture underneath might offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-ZR700 and LX7.
Clearly, both the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The EX-ZR700 because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Casio EX-ZR700 will show extra detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively.
