Casio EX-ZR800 vs Nikon S9100 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it's tough to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions only by looking through technical specs. The image below might provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-ZR800 and S9100.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Casio EX-ZR800 to provide you with more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures more aggressively. The newer EX-ZR800 will have a benefit in sensor technology.
