Casio EX-H15 vs Sony A7S II Sensor Comparison

Normally, it can be difficult to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions just by viewing technical specs. The image underneath might give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-H15 and A7S II.

As you have seen, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The EX-H15 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh more challenging and the Casio EX-H15 will result in more detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged EX-H15 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
