Casio EX-G1 vs Sony W570 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it can be tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes only by reviewing a spec sheet. The image here should provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-G1 and W570.

Clearly, both of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Sony W570 to offer greater detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged EX-G1 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
