Casio EX-10 vs Nikon Z7 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very tough to envision the gap between sensor sizes only by reading through a spec sheet. The picture below will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-10 and Z7.

Clearly, each of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The EX-10 because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Nikon Z7 will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 34 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged EX-10 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
