Casio EX-Z270 vs Casio EX-ZR10 Sensor Comparison
In many cases, it can be tough to envision the gap in sensor dimensions only by viewing a spec sheet. The pic below may give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-Z270 and EX-ZR10.
Clearly, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The EX-Z270 using its smaller sensor will make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Casio EX-ZR10 will result in extra detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z270 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
