Canon SD4500 IS vs Casio EX-H20G Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is difficult to imagine the gap between sensor measurements purely by checking a spec sheet. The graphic below will help provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the SD4500 IS and EX-H20G.

Clearly, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You should anticipate the Casio EX-H20G to resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more modern SD4500 IS should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
