Casio EX-100 vs Nikon P100

Lets look a little more closely at the Casio EX-100 versus Nikon P100, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by brands Casio and Nikon. The sensor resolution of the EX-100 (12MP) and the P100 (10MP) is fairly well matched but the EX-100 (1/1.7") and P100 (1/2.3") have different sensor size.

The EX-100 was brought out 3 years after the P100 which is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Casio EX-100 being a Compact camera and the Nikon P100 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before diving straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a short view of how the EX-100 matches up against the P100 for portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Casio Exilim EX-100 and Nikon Coolpix P100. The entire galleries are available at Casio EX-100 Gallery and Nikon P100 Gallery.

In case you're intending to carry around your camera frequently, you're going to have to consider its weight and measurements.

Typically, its difficult to imagine the gap between sensor sizes just by reading through a spec sheet. The pic below should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-100 and P100.

Clearly, the 2 cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The EX-100 due to its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Casio EX-100 will give you extra detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more recent EX-100 provides an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
