Casio EX-Z270 vs FujiFilm JZ500 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is hard to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing purely by checking specifications. The visual here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-Z270 and JZ500.

Plainly, both cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The EX-Z270 having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the FujiFilm JZ500 will resolve greater detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The older EX-Z270 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
