Casio EX-Z90 vs Sony H50 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very tough to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements merely by researching technical specs. The photograph underneath may provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-Z90 and H50.

As you can tell, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Casio EX-Z90 to result in more detail using its extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more modern EX-Z90 is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
