Casio EX-Z2000 vs Sony NEX-5N Sensor Comparison

As you can see, both of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The EX-Z2000 featuring a tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Sony NEX-5N will deliver extra detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z2000 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
