Casio EX-Z90 vs Samsung ST150F Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by seeing a spec sheet. The image below might provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-Z90 and ST150F.

Clearly, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Samsung ST150F to show more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z90 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
