Casio EX-H20G vs Samsung NX1000 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's tough to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions only by looking through technical specs. The picture here should give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-H20G and NX1000.

As you can tell, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The EX-H20G featuring a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF tougher and the Samsung NX1000 will result in greater detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged EX-H20G will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
