Casio EX-Z29 vs Samsung ST6500 Sensor Comparison

Generally, its tough to picture the difference between sensor measurements simply by going over technical specs. The photograph here will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-Z29 and ST6500.

As you can tell, both of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z29 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Samsung ST6500 will deliver extra detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images a bit more aggressively. The older EX-Z29 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
