Casio EX-ZR100 vs Nikon D100 Sensor Comparison

Normally, its tough to visualise the gap in sensor sizes just by looking through a spec sheet. The picture here will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-ZR100 and D100.

Clearly, both cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The EX-ZR100 with its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Casio EX-ZR100 will render extra detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The more modern EX-ZR100 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
