Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX20 with Casio Exilim EX-Z400 Overview


Let's compare Casio Exilim EX-Z400 with Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX20. These models are included in the Ultracompact cameras. Casio EX-Z400 was released in 2009, and Sony TX20 in 2012. Cyber-shot DSC-TX20 is newer, which is a plus. Exilim EX-Z400 3 years older.
The sensor resolution of Exilim EX-Z400 is greater than that of Cyber-shot DSC-TX20. However, the difference of 4 MP is not very significant. The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.
At the second camera (Cyber-shot DSC-TX20), the minimum ISO value is lower, which gives more opportunities for shooting in daylight. A larger maximum ISO allows you to take good pictures in the dark. At Sony TX20, the maximum ISO is greater by 1600. Both cameras have Sensor-shift image stabilization. Both cameras feature a 3-inch fixed screen.
Casio Exilim EX-Z400 has 10.0 fps continuous shooting.
