Casio EX-Z400 vs Samsung ST93 Sensor Comparison

As you can see, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Samsung ST93 to offer greater detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The older EX-Z400 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
