Casio EX-Z33 vs Samsung PL210 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very difficult to see the difference between sensor sizing simply by reading a spec sheet. The photograph below may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-Z33 and PL210.

Clearly, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Samsung PL210 to offer you greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The older EX-Z33 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
