Casio EX-Z400 vs Nikon A10 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing purely by looking at specifications. The visual here should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-Z400 and A10.

Plainly, the 2 cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different megapixels. You can expect the Nikon A10 to give you extra detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The older EX-Z400 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
