Casio EX-H15 vs Sony A7S Sensor Comparison

As you can tell, the 2 cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The EX-H15 due to its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow DOF harder and the Casio EX-H15 will result in extra detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged EX-H15 will be behind in sensor innovation.
