Casio EX-H15 vs Nikon S4300 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it's hard to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions only by checking a spec sheet. The pic here will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-H15 and S4300.

As you can see, both of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Nikon S4300 to give you extra detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images more aggressively. The more aged EX-H15 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
