Casio EX-Z270 vs Sony A7S III Sensor Comparison

Clearly, each of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z270 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF more difficult and the Sony A7S III will give extra detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs more aggressively. The older EX-Z270 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
