Casio EX-Z400 vs FujiFilm JZ500 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is difficult to visualise the difference in sensor measurements simply by going through a spec sheet. The graphic here will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-Z400 and JZ500.

As you can see, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the FujiFilm JZ500 to show greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older EX-Z400 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
