Casio EX-Z400 vs Sony TX10 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing only by going through a spec sheet. The visual underneath may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-Z400 and TX10.

As you can see, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Sony TX10 to produce greater detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos much more aggressively. The older EX-Z400 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
