Casio EX-100 vs Casio EX-H20G

Below, we are contrasting the Casio EX-100 and Casio EX-H20G, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Small Sensor Compact and both are built by Casio. The image resolution of the EX-100 (12MP) and the EX-H20G (14MP) is very well matched but the EX-100 (1/1.7") and EX-H20G (1/2.3") feature totally different sensor sizing.

The EX-100 was unveiled 3 years later than the EX-H20G and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before going through a detailed comparison, below is a short synopsis of how the EX-100 grades against the EX-H20G with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Casio Exilim EX-100 and Casio Exilim EX-H20G. The full galleries are provided at Casio EX-100 Gallery and Casio EX-H20G Gallery.

For those who are looking to carry your camera often, you'll have to factor its weight and measurements.

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you use at that time. The following is the front view over all size comparison of the EX-100 versus the EX-H20G.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the EX-100 and EX-H20G is 83 and 91 respectively.

Normally, it's tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizing merely by reading through specifications. The photograph underneath will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-100 and EX-H20G.

Plainly, both of these cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The EX-100 with its larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Casio EX-H20G will give extra detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos much more aggressively. The newer EX-100 is going to have a benefit in sensor innovation.
