Canon A800 vs Casio EX-10 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is difficult to visualize the difference between sensor measurements purely by reading technical specs. The photograph below should give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the A800 and EX-10.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The A800 because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Casio EX-10 will offer you greater detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures way more aggressively. The older A800 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
