Casio EX-Z400 vs Kodak Mini Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is hard to picture the gap between sensor dimensions purely by checking technical specs. The pic here might provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-Z400 and Mini.

As you have seen, both of those cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The EX-Z400 with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Casio EX-Z400 will give you extra detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z400 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
