Screen

Canon PowerShot SX740 HS and Casio Exilim EX-ZR10 have 3.0" screens with 922k dot and 461k dot resolutions respectively. Canon PowerShot SX740 HS has a Tilting screen which makes it very useful for photography purposes but not so useful for video shooting. Casio Exilim EX-ZR10 has a Fixed screen

BSI-CMOS Sensor

Canon PowerShot SX740 HS features a 20.3 megapixel 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor with dimensions of 6.17 x 4.55 mm and a total area of 28.1 mm². Its native ISO range is 100 - 3,200. Casio Exilim EX-ZR10 features a 12.1 megapixel 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor with dimensions of 6.17 x 4.55 mm and a total area of 20.7 mm². Its native ISO range is 100 - 3,200.

The cameras have BSI-CMOS sensor, short for Backside Illuminated Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor sensor. In traditional CMOS sensors, the wiring and circuitry are located on the front side of the sensor, which can block some of the incoming light. BSI technology flips this design by placing the photosensitive elements (pixels) on the backside of the sensor, allowing more light to reach the pixels. This significantly enhances light sensitivity and improves low-light performance. BSI-CMOS sensors are particularly effective in low-light conditions, as they can capture more light, resulting in brighter and less noisy images. This makes them well-suited for indoor and night photography. BSI-CMOS sensors deliver a higher SNR and reduced cross-talk.

Canon PowerShot SX740 HS is equipped with DIGIC 8 processor and can take pictures up to 5184 x 3888 resolution. Casio Exilim EX-ZR10 is equipped with Exilim Engine HS processor and can take pictures up to 4000 x 3000 resolution. It can also take pictures with lower resolution like 4000 x 2656, 4000 x 2240, 3648 x 2736, 3264 x 2448, 2560 x 1920, 2048 x 1536, 640 x 480 with 4:3, 3:2, 16:9 aspect ratios.
