Casio EX-ZR800 vs Pentax S1 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Usually, it is very hard to see the gap between sensor sizes only by looking at specifications. The image here might offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-ZR800 and S1.
Plainly, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Casio EX-ZR800 to resolve greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures much more aggressively. The younger EX-ZR800 will have an edge in sensor tech.
