Casio EX-Z90 vs Olympus SZ-11 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, its tough to envision the contrast in sensor sizing merely by looking through specifications. The photograph underneath will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-Z90 and SZ-11.
To sum up, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Olympus SZ-11 to provide you with extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics way more aggressively. The older EX-Z90 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
