Canon A495 vs Casio EX-100 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it's tough to see the difference between sensor sizing purely by reading a spec sheet. The photograph here should give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the A495 and EX-100.

Clearly, both of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The A495 featuring a tinier sensor will make shooting bokeh tougher and the Casio EX-100 will offer you more detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older A495 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
