The EX-H20G was unveiled 3 years before the EX2F and that is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before going straight into a more detailed comparison, below is a concise synopsis of how the EX-H20G matches up against the EX2F in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Casio Exilim EX-H20G and Samsung EX2F. The full galleries are available at Casio EX-H20G Gallery and Samsung EX2F Gallery.

Typically, it is very tough to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements simply by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph below should give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-H20G and EX2F.

Clearly, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX-H20G having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Casio EX-H20G will give extra detail having an extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures far more aggressively. The older EX-H20G is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
