Casio EX-Z270 vs Sony ZV-1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, its hard to visualize the difference in sensor dimensions only by researching technical specs. The pic underneath will help offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-Z270 and ZV-1.
As you have seen, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The EX-Z270 having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony ZV-1 will provide you with greater detail having an extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z270 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
