Casio EX-ZR700 vs Panasonic ZS7 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is very tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizes purely by reading a spec sheet. The pic here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-ZR700 and ZS7.

Clearly, both cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Casio EX-ZR700 to offer you more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more recent EX-ZR700 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
