Casio EX-FH25 vs Sigma DP2s Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it can be hard to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions simply by going through a spec sheet. The image here will give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-FH25 and DP2s.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The EX-FH25 having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Casio EX-FH25 will provide greater detail using its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively.
