Casio EX-10 vs Sony A33 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, the 2 cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The EX-10 because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more challenging and the Sony A33 will provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The fresher EX-10 should have an edge in sensor tech.
