Casio EX-Z270 vs Nikon S3700 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, the two cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The EX-Z270 featuring a tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Nikon S3700 will deliver greater detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures more aggressively. The older EX-Z270 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
