All in all, both the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Nikon W300 to offer greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged EX-ZR100 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
