Sometimes, its difficult to visualise the gap between sensor measurements simply by reading through specifications. The graphic here will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-Z280 and S5300.

Plainly, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Nikon S5300 to resolve more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-Z280 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
