Canon G12 vs Casio EX-10 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it's tough to picture the difference in sensor dimensions just by looking through technical specs. The pic here may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the G12 and EX-10.
As you have seen, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You should expect to see the Casio EX-10 to render extra detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged G12 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
