Casio EX-G1 vs Sony RX10 III Sensor Comparison

Normally, it can be difficult to see the contrast in sensor sizing merely by seeing technical specs. The graphic here might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-G1 and RX10 III.

As you can tell, both of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The EX-G1 with its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the Sony RX10 III will provide greater detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-G1 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
