Casio EX-H10 vs Sony a1 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizing only by checking a spec sheet. The graphic here should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-H10 and a1.

As you can see, the two cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The EX-H10 using its tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Sony a1 will resolve extra detail with its extra 38 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The older EX-H10 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
