Casio EX-Z16 vs Sony ZV-1 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
In many cases, it is difficult to envision the contrast between sensor sizing purely by going over technical specs. The graphic underneath may provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-Z16 and ZV-1.
As you can tell, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The EX-Z16 having a tinier sensor will make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Sony ZV-1 will offer extra detail because of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images far more aggressively. The older EX-Z16 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
