Casio EX-100 vs Nikon S8000 Sensor Comparison

As you have seen, the two cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The EX-100 with its larger sensor will make achieving bokeh easier and the Nikon S8000 will result in greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The fresher EX-100 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
