Casio EX-H20G vs Nikon S5200 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very tough to envision the gap in sensor dimensions purely by viewing a spec sheet. The pic here will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-H20G and S5200.

Clearly, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Nikon S5200 to render extra detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged EX-H20G will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
