Casio TRYX vs Nikon S80

Lets take a closer look at the Casio TRYX and Nikon S80, both Ultracompact digital cameras by rivals Casio and Nikon. The resolution of the TRYX (12MP) and the S80 (14MP) is very well matched and they come with the exact same sensor measurements (1/2.3").

The TRYX was revealed 4 months later than the S80 so they are both of a similar generation. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (Ultracompact).

Before we go in to a step-by-step comparison, below is a short introduction of how the TRYX scores vs the S80 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Casio Exilim TRYX and Nikon Coolpix S80. The full galleries are viewable at Casio TRYX Gallery and Nikon S80 Gallery.

If you're planning to carry your camera often, you will need to consider its weight and proportions. The Casio TRYX offers external dimensions of 122mm x 58mm x 15mm (4.8" x 2.3" x 0.6") and a weight of n/a grams (0.00 lbs) whilst the Nikon S80 has measurements of 99mm x 63mm x 17mm (3.9" x 2.5" x 0.7") and a weight of 133 grams (0.29 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you have attached during that time. Underneath is the front view overall size comparison of the TRYX compared to the S80.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability rating of the TRYX and S80 is 99 and 96 respectively.

Generally, it can be hard to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing only by reading through a spec sheet. The graphic below may give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the TRYX and S80.

Clearly, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Nikon S80 to resolve greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively.
