Casio EX-10 vs Nikon S8100 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it is difficult to see the contrast between sensor sizes only by checking a spec sheet. The pic here should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-10 and S8100.
As you can see, each of the cameras feature the identical megapixel count but not the same sensor sizes. The EX-10 has the larger sensor which is going to make achieving shallow DOF less difficult. The more modern EX-10 will have a benefit in sensor tech.
