Casio EX-Z33 vs Nikon P300 Sensor Comparison

Generally, it is very tough to see the difference in sensor sizing only by seeing a spec sheet. The photograph underneath should offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-Z33 and P300.

Clearly, both of those cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Nikon P300 to show more detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a little more aggressively. The older EX-Z33 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
