Casio EX-Z29 vs Samsung DV150F Sensor Comparison

Usually, its tough to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes just by checking technical specs. The image below should give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-Z29 and DV150F.

As you can tell, both the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The EX-Z29 having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Samsung DV150F will resolve extra detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z29 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
