Casio EX-Z90 vs Nikon P7100

In this article, we are looking at the Casio EX-Z90 vs Nikon P7100, both Small Sensor Compact cameras by rivals Casio and Nikon. The sensor resolution of the EX-Z90 (12MP) and the P7100 (10MP) is fairly close but the EX-Z90 (1/2.3") and P7100 (1/1.7") use totally different sensor measurements.

The EX-Z90 was manufactured 3 years earlier than the P7100 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before diving through a more detailed comparison, below is a simple overview of how the EX-Z90 grades versus the P7100 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Sometimes, it can be difficult to see the contrast in sensor measurements only by looking through technical specs. The photograph here will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-Z90 and P7100.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z90 because of its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Casio EX-Z90 will render extra detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images far more aggressively. The older EX-Z90 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
