Casio EX-Z800 vs Fujifilm XQ2 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very hard to see the contrast between sensor sizing merely by going over specs. The visual here might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-Z800 and Fujifilm XQ2.

As you can plainly see, both the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The EX-Z800 using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Casio EX-Z800 will offer extra detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-Z800 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
