Casio EX-Z35 vs Kodak Mini Sensor Comparison

Often, its hard to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions only by going over technical specs. The pic here might offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-Z35 and Mini.

As you can tell, both the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The EX-Z35 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Casio EX-Z35 will offer you more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z35 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
