Canon SX230 HS vs Casio EX-10 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Often, it is tough to imagine the difference between sensor sizes only by checking a spec sheet. The picture here may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX230 HS and EX-10.
Clearly, the two cameras come with the identical MP albeit different sensor sizes. The SX230 HS offers the tinier sensor which is going to make getting shallower DOF tougher. The more aged SX230 HS is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
