Casio EX-G1 vs Fujifilm HS30EXR Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is hard to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions only by checking out a spec sheet. The picture below might give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-G1 and Fujifilm HS30EXR.

Clearly, both of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The EX-G1 because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Fujifilm HS30EXR will produce greater detail utilizing its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged EX-G1 will be behind in sensor innovation.
