Casio EX-Z270 vs Casio EX-Z90 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, its tough to see the contrast between sensor dimensions only by checking specifications. The picture below may give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-Z270 and EX-Z90.

To sum up, each of these cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The EX-Z270 because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Casio EX-Z90 will give greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z270 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
