Canon SX520 HS vs Casio EX-10 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, its difficult to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions just by going through technical specs. The image below should offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the SX520 HS and EX-10.
As you can tell, both the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The SX520 HS featuring a smaller sensor will make achieving shallower DOF trickier and the Canon SX520 HS will show more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more modern SX520 HS is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
