Casio EX-Z90 vs Samsung DV300F Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by researching specs. The image below might give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-Z90 and DV300F.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Samsung DV300F to result in greater detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z90 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
