The EX-G1 was brought out 5 years before the H300 which is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Casio EX-G1 being a Ultracompact camera and the Sony H300 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go straight into a in depth comparison, below is a concise introduction of how the EX-G1 grades versus the H300 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Oftentimes, its tough to see the difference between sensor dimensions just by reading through technical specs. The picture underneath will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-G1 and H300.

As you can tell, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Sony H300 to resolve more detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged EX-G1 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
