Casio EX-ZR100 vs Nikon P950 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Usually, its difficult to see the gap in sensor measurements just by seeing technical specs. The graphic here will help give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-ZR100 and P950.
As you can tell, the 2 cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Nikon P950 to provide greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots more aggressively. The older EX-ZR100 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
