Casio EX-10 vs Sony W230 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it is difficult to see the gap between sensor sizes only by looking at specifications. The pic below will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-10 and W230.
Plainly, each of the cameras provide the same megapixels but not the same sensor sizes. The EX-10 contains the larger sensor which should make getting shallower DOF easier. The younger EX-10 will have an edge in sensor innovation.
