Casio EX-10 vs Sony RX100 VII Sensor Comparison

Clearly, both the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The EX-10 having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field tougher and the Sony RX100 VII will give you greater detail because of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-10 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
