Casio EX-Z550 vs Fujifilm Z900EXR Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it can be difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing specifications. The pic underneath may give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-Z550 and Fujifilm Z900EXR.

To sum up, both cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The EX-Z550 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Fujifilm Z900EXR will offer you extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z550 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
