Casio EX-Z35 vs Sony TX30 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very hard to see the difference between sensor sizing simply by reading through specs. The graphic underneath may provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-Z35 and TX30.

All in all, the two cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Sony TX30 to resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images more aggressively. The older EX-Z35 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
