Casio EX-H15 vs Nikon D2X Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is hard to visualise the gap in sensor sizes purely by viewing a spec sheet. The picture underneath should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-H15 and D2X.

As you can see, the two cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The EX-H15 using its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Casio EX-H15 will result in greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos much more aggressively. The more recent EX-H15 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
