Casio EX-Z400 vs Sony TX100V Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is hard to visualise the gap between sensor measurements simply by looking at technical specs. The visual underneath may give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-Z400 and TX100V.

As you can tell, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Sony TX100V to resolve more detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older EX-Z400 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
