Casio EX-100 vs Fujifilm S2 Pro Sensor Comparison

All in all, both the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The EX-100 due to its smaller sensor will make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Casio EX-100 will show more detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images far more aggressively. The more recent EX-100 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
