Casio EX-Z270 vs Sony TX100V Sensor Comparison

As you have seen, each of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The EX-Z270 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Sony TX100V will offer more detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z270 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
