Canon SX130 IS has a
12.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor and features Digic 4 processor. On the other hand, Casio EX-ZR1000 has a
16.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features EXILIM Engine HS 3 processor.
Below you can see the SX130 IS and EX-ZR1000 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon SX130 IS and Casio EX-ZR1000 Cameras
Canon SX130 IS and Casio EX-ZR1000 have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture. On the other hand, since Canon SX130 IS has 32% larger pixel area compared to Casio EX-ZR1000, it has potential to collect more light on pixel level hence have less noise in low light / High ISO images.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Canon SX130 IS
or the
Casio EX-ZR1000 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
