Casio EX-Z29 vs Nikon A100 Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it is very hard to imagine the difference between sensor dimensions purely by reading a spec sheet. The picture here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-Z29 and A100.
As you can see, each of these cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The EX-Z29 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Nikon A100 will offer you more detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z29 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
