Casio EX-Z270 vs Nikon S80 Sensor Comparison
Often, it is difficult to see the contrast between sensor sizing purely by reading through a spec sheet. The graphic here might offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-Z270 and S80.
As you can see, the 2 cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The EX-Z270 with its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Nikon S80 will resolve greater detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older EX-Z270 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
