Casio EX-Z270 vs Casio EX-ZR300 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, the 2 cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The EX-Z270 because of its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Casio EX-ZR300 will render greater detail having its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z270 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
