Casio EX-Z35 vs Nikon S1200pj Sensor Comparison

Usually, its difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizing only by going over specifications. The visual underneath should give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-Z35 and S1200pj.

Plainly, both of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Nikon S1200pj to deliver greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The older EX-Z35 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
