Casio EX-H20G vs Samsung NX500 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it's tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing purely by viewing specifications. The photograph underneath should provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-H20G and NX500.

Plainly, the 2 cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The EX-H20G due to its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow DOF tougher and the Samsung NX500 will provide you with more detail having its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The older EX-H20G will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
