Casio EX-Z270 vs Fujifilm X100 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, both of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The EX-Z270 having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Fujifilm X100 will deliver greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels.
