Casio EX-Z270 vs Samsung TL205 Sensor Comparison

Generally, its difficult to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions purely by going through a spec sheet. The pic below should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-Z270 and TL205.

Clearly, both cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The EX-Z270 because of its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Samsung TL205 will provide more detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z270 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
