Casio EX-H15 vs Sony A6000 Sensor Comparison

Often, it is tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizing just by viewing specs. The visual below may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-H15 and A6000.

All in all, each of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The EX-H15 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Sony A6000 will render extra detail because of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots more aggressively. The older EX-H15 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
