The EX-H10 was unveiled 4 years before the NEX-3N and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Casio EX-H10 being a Compact camera and the Sony NEX-3N being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving right into a detailed comparison, here is a quick overview of how the EX-H10 grades vs the NEX-3N in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Quite often, it can be difficult to picture the difference between sensor measurements simply by reading a spec sheet. The visual here might give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-H10 and NEX-3N.

Clearly, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The EX-H10 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Sony NEX-3N will offer greater detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-H10 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
