Casio EX-Z2000 vs Nikon S02 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very difficult to envision the gap in sensor dimensions only by going through technical specs. The picture below may give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-Z2000 and S02.

As you have seen, each of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The EX-Z2000 with its larger sensor will make getting shallower DOF easier and the Casio EX-Z2000 will produce greater detail because of its extra 1MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images a little more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z2000 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
