Casio EX-Z270 vs FujiFilm S2950 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, its tough to see the gap in sensor sizing merely by looking through technical specs. The photograph here may offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-Z270 and S2950.

As you have seen, the two cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The EX-Z270 having a smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the FujiFilm S2950 will result in greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics more aggressively. The older EX-Z270 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
