Casio EX-H15 vs Nikon P7700

Let's look a little more in depth at the Casio EX-H15 and Nikon P7700, both Small Sensor Compact cameras by manufacturers Casio and Nikon. The image resolution of the EX-H15 (14MP) and the P7700 (12MP) is fairly close but the EX-H15 (1/2.3") and P7700 (1/1.7") posses different sensor measurements.

Photography Glossary

The EX-H15 was released 4 years earlier than the P7700 which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before diving right into a complete comparison, here is a concise introduction of how the EX-H15 grades against the P7700 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Casio Exilim EX-H15 and Nikon Coolpix P7700. The complete galleries are viewable at Casio EX-H15 Gallery and Nikon P7700 Gallery.

For anybody who is looking to travel with your camera regularly, you will have to think about its weight and size.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the EX-H15 and P7700 is 93 and 82 respectively.

More often than not, its tough to visualize the difference in sensor dimensions purely by viewing specifications. The pic below should offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-H15 and P7700.

Plainly, both the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The EX-H15 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Casio EX-H15 will result in greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images way more aggressively. The more aged EX-H15 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
