Casio EX-S5 vs Nikon L32 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it can be hard to envision the contrast between sensor sizes merely by looking at specifications. The pic here should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-S5 and L32.

Plainly, each of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Nikon L32 to resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 11MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images a little more aggressively. The more aged EX-S5 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
