Casio EX-Z29 vs Sony W310 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it's difficult to envision the difference in sensor dimensions simply by viewing technical specs. The picture below may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-Z29 and W310.

As you have seen, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The EX-Z29 due to its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sony W310 will result in greater detail utilizing its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z29 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
