Casio EX-ZR100 vs Nikon A900 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's difficult to envision the gap in sensor measurements just by seeing technical specs. The photograph below might offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-ZR100 and A900.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Nikon A900 to provide greater detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels.
