Canon A800 vs Casio EX-H20G Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
In many cases, its hard to visualise the gap in sensor sizing just by checking out a spec sheet. The graphic underneath might give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the A800 and EX-H20G.
Clearly, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Casio EX-H20G to produce extra detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively.
