Casio EX-Z270 vs Nikon S1200pj Sensor Comparison
Generally, it can be hard to visualize the gap between sensor measurements only by checking a spec sheet. The graphic here may give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-Z270 and S1200pj.
Clearly, both of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z270 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Nikon S1200pj will give you extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos more aggressively. The older EX-Z270 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
