Casio EX-Z29 vs Samsung ST95 Sensor Comparison
Typically, it is difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing technical specs. The image below will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-Z29 and ST95.
As you have seen, both cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The EX-Z29 having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Samsung ST95 will offer you greater detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z29 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
