Casio EX-Z270 vs Olympus VG-145 Sensor Comparison
Quite often, it can be difficult to visualize the gap in sensor sizing purely by researching a spec sheet. The photograph here will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-Z270 and VG-145.
Clearly, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The EX-Z270 because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh more challenging and the Olympus VG-145 will provide you with extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-Z270 will be behind in sensor technology.
