Casio EX-100 vs Nikon S6300 Sensor Comparison
Often, it is very hard to see the gap in sensor sizing just by viewing technical specs. The photograph below will give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-100 and S6300.
As you can tell, each of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The EX-100 having a larger sensor will make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Nikon S6300 will result in more detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics much more aggressively. The more recent EX-100 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
