Casio EX-ZS15 vs Nikon L32 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is very tough to envision the contrast between sensor measurements merely by going over technical specs. The photograph here will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-ZS15 and L32.

As you can tell, both cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Nikon L32 to offer you more detail having an extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots more aggressively. The older EX-ZS15 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
