Casio EX-ZR700 vs Sony a5000 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is difficult to imagine the gap in sensor sizes purely by viewing specifications. The image here should offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-ZR700 and a5000.

To sum up, both the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The EX-ZR700 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Sony a5000 will result in more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged EX-ZR700 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
