The EX-Z29 was manufactured 3 years prior to the WX30 which is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Casio EX-Z29 being a Ultracompact camera and the Sony WX30 being a Compact camera.

Before diving right into a thorough comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the EX-Z29 grades vs the WX30 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Casio Exilim EX-Z29 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX30. The entire galleries are provided at Casio EX-Z29 Gallery and Sony WX30 Gallery.

If you're planning to travel with your camera regularly, you are going to need to think about its weight and volume. The Casio EX-Z29 enjoys external measurements of 101mm x 57mm x 23mm (4.0" x 2.2" x 0.9") with a weight of 125 grams (0.28 lbs) whilst the Sony WX30 has sizing of 92mm x 52mm x 19mm (3.6" x 2.0" x 0.7") and a weight of 117 grams (0.26 lbs).

More often than not, it is difficult to imagine the difference between sensor dimensions merely by going over a spec sheet. The pic here should give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-Z29 and WX30.

Clearly, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The EX-Z29 because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the Sony WX30 will offer you greater detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z29 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
