Casio EX-Z270 vs Casio EX-ZR15 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, its hard to visualise the gap in sensor measurements just by viewing a spec sheet. The graphic below will give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-Z270 and EX-ZR15.

Clearly, each of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z270 featuring a smaller sensor will make getting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Casio EX-ZR15 will render greater detail having its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The older EX-Z270 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
