Casio EX-Z90 vs Leica C Sensor Comparison

Generally, it can be hard to see the difference between sensor dimensions merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The pic underneath may provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-Z90 and C.

Clearly, the two cameras enjoy the same exact MP but not the same sensor dimensions. The EX-Z90 uses the tinier sensor which is going to make obtaining shallow depth of field harder. The more aged EX-Z90 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
