Casio EX-G1 vs Kodak M590 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is hard to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions only by going through a spec sheet. The image below may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-G1 and M590.

As you can see, each of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The EX-G1 featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Kodak M590 will show greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-G1 will be behind in sensor tech.
