The EX-Z400 was revealed 13 months earlier than the S3000 making them a generation away from one another. Both of these cameras have the same body design (Ultracompact).

Before we go right into a in depth comparison, here is a quick introduction of how the EX-Z400 matches up versus the S3000 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Sometimes, it's tough to visualize the difference in sensor sizes simply by looking through a spec sheet. The picture below might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-Z400 and S3000.

Clearly, each of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions and the identical megapixels therefore you can expect comparable quality of files although you may want to take the age of the cameras into account. The more aged EX-Z400 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
