The EX-Z270 was introduced 7 years prior to the S7000 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Ultracompact).

Before going through a in depth comparison, below is a short view of how the EX-Z270 grades against the S7000 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Casio Exilim EX-Z270 and Nikon Coolpix S7000. The whole galleries are viewable at Casio EX-Z270 Gallery and Nikon S7000 Gallery.

Sometimes, it is tough to visualise the gap in sensor sizing simply by seeing technical specs. The visual here may give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-Z270 and S7000.

As you have seen, both of those cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The EX-Z270 having a smaller sensor will make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Nikon S7000 will provide greater detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older EX-Z270 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
