Casio EX-H20G vs Samsung GX-20 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is tough to picture the gap in sensor sizes just by researching specs. The picture here will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-H20G and GX-20.

As you can plainly see, both of those cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The EX-H20G having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF harder and the Samsung GX-20 will result in greater detail because of its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more recent EX-H20G should have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
