Casio EX-H10 vs Samsung NX20 Sensor Comparison

Normally, its tough to visualize the gap in sensor sizing only by checking out technical specs. The visual here will give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-H10 and NX20.

As you can tell, both of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The EX-H10 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Samsung NX20 will produce extra detail because of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a bit more aggressively. The older EX-H10 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
