Casio EX-ZR800 vs Fujifilm S3 Pro Sensor Comparison

As you have seen, both the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The EX-ZR800 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Casio EX-ZR800 will show more detail using its extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The younger EX-ZR800 should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
