Casio EX-Z270 vs Olympus FE-3010 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizes merely by reviewing specs. The pic here will help provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-Z270 and FE-3010.

All in all, the 2 cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The EX-Z270 with its tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Olympus FE-3010 will deliver extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images somewhat more aggressively.
