Casio EX-Z450 vs Samsung NX1000 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is very hard to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions only by reading specs. The picture underneath should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-Z450 and NX1000.

As you can plainly see, each of these cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The EX-Z450 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Samsung NX1000 will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z450 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
