Casio EX-FC150 vs Nikon Z7 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it can be difficult to see the gap in sensor measurements merely by going through a spec sheet. The graphic here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-FC150 and Z7.

As you can see, each of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The EX-FC150 due to its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Nikon Z7 will provide greater detail as a result of its extra 36 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-FC150 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
