Casio EX-Z400 vs Nikon S01 Sensor Comparison
Often, its difficult to picture the gap in sensor dimensions only by looking through specs. The pic underneath might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-Z400 and S01.
All in all, the 2 cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The EX-Z400 due to its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Casio EX-Z400 will result in more detail utilizing its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z400 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
