Casio EX-Z29 vs Casio EX-ZR15 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z29 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh more difficult and the Casio EX-ZR15 will provide you with more detail having its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older EX-Z29 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
