Canon SX40 HS vs Casio EX-H20G Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it can be hard to envision the contrast in sensor measurements purely by checking out technical specs. The visual underneath should provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX40 HS and EX-H20G.
As you have seen, both cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Casio EX-H20G to produce extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a little more aggressively. The more modern SX40 HS will have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
