The EX-H15 was released 4 years earlier than the Fujifilm X20 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before diving into a complete comparison, here is a short summation of how the EX-H15 matches up against the Fujifilm X20 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Casio Exilim EX-H15 and Fujifilm X20. The complete galleries are viewable at Casio EX-H15 Gallery and Fujifilm X20 Gallery.

Normally, it is very difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing purely by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph here might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-H15 and Fujifilm X20.

Clearly, both the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The EX-H15 because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Casio EX-H15 will result in greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-H15 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
