Casio EX-Z90 vs Sony W620 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Normally, it is hard to visualise the difference in sensor sizing just by seeing a spec sheet. The visual below may give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-Z90 and W620.
Clearly, the two cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Sony W620 to provide more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older EX-Z90 will be behind in sensor tech.
