Casio EX-Z16 vs Sigma fp L

Lets look a bit more in depth at the Casio EX-Z16 versus Sigma fp L, one being a Ultracompact and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by competitors Casio and Sigma. There is a big difference among the sensor resolutions of the EX-Z16 (12MP) and fp L (61MP) and the EX-Z16 (1/2.3") and fp L (Full frame) use different sensor size.

All in all, each of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z16 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sigma fp L will show more detail due to its extra 49MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs much more aggressively. The older EX-Z16 will be behind in sensor innovation.
