Casio EX-G1 vs Fujifilm S3 Pro Sensor Comparison

As you can see, the two cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The EX-G1 having a smaller sensor will make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Casio EX-G1 will produce greater detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images far more aggressively. The more recent EX-G1 is going to have an edge in sensor technology.
