Canon G9 X vs Casio EX-H10

Let's look more in depth at the Canon G9 X and Casio EX-H10, former being a Large Sensor Compact while the latter is a Small Sensor Compact by rivals Canon and Casio. There exists a sizable gap among the resolutions of the G9 X (20MP) and EX-H10 (12MP) and the G9 X (1") and EX-H10 (1/2.3") have different sensor measurements.

The G9 X was unveiled 6 years later than the EX-H10 and that is a fairly significant difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before diving into a in-depth comparison, here is a short introduction of how the G9 X grades versus the EX-H10 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot G9 X & Casio Exilim EX-H10. The full galleries are viewable at Canon G9 X Gallery & Casio EX-H10 Gallery.

If you are planning to lug around your camera regularly, you'll have to consider its weight and volume. The Canon G9 X offers physical measurements of 98mm x 58mm x 31mm (3.9" x 2.3" x 1.2") with a weight of 209 grams (0.46 lbs) while the Casio EX-H10 has sizing of 102mm x 62mm x 24mm (4.0" x 2.4" x 0.9") having a weight of 194 grams (0.43 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you select at that time. The following is a front view dimension comparison of the G9 X compared to the EX-H10.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the G9 X and EX-H10 is 92 and 93 respectively.

More often than not, it is hard to imagine the gap in sensor measurements just by researching a spec sheet. The graphic underneath may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the G9 X and EX-H10.

Clearly, each of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The G9 X using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Canon G9 X will render extra detail having an extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures way more aggressively. The newer G9 X should have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
