Casio EX-Z2000 vs Sony A3000 Sensor Comparison

Plainly, the 2 cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z2000 featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Sony A3000 will render more detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older EX-Z2000 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
