Casio EX-H20G vs Samsung NX20 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very tough to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions purely by going through technical specs. The pic below may give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-H20G and NX20.

As you can tell, both of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The EX-H20G having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field tougher and the Samsung NX20 will show more detail using its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged EX-H20G will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
