Casio EX-H20G vs Sony A7 II Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very difficult to see the gap between sensor measurements merely by reviewing specs. The graphic underneath should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-H20G and A7 II.

All in all, the 2 cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX-H20G using its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Sony A7 II will deliver more detail with its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older EX-H20G is going to be behind in sensor tech.
