Again there's not a lot in it, though the excessive saturation (particularly of reds) and overall softness mean the NV10 result comes off worse in a direct comparison with the Casio. That said, the NV10 has actually managed to preserve marginally more detail than the Z1000. Neither is very impressive, but either would produce - at a pinch - a usable small print (though one with a distinctly 'day glo' appearance in the case of the NV10).
