Casio EX-ZS10 vs Sony TX30 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it's difficult to picture the gap between sensor sizes purely by checking a spec sheet. The picture underneath should give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-ZS10 and TX30.

Clearly, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different megapixels. You can expect the Sony TX30 to resolve extra detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged EX-ZS10 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
