Casio EX-Z29 vs Fujifilm S8300 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it's tough to see the difference in sensor measurements purely by seeing specs. The visual below may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-Z29 and Fujifilm S8300.
All in all, both of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z29 having a smaller sensor will make achieving bokeh harder and the Fujifilm S8300 will show more detail because of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos way more aggressively. The older EX-Z29 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
