Casio EX-FS10 vs Nikon S2900 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, its difficult to see the gap between sensor sizing simply by reading through technical specs. The photograph here should give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-FS10 and S2900.

As you can tell, the two cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Nikon S2900 to give greater detail with its extra 11MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos way more aggressively. The older EX-FS10 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
