Casio EX-H20G vs Sony A7R Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very tough to imagine the gap in sensor measurements merely by looking through specs. The photograph underneath will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-H20G and A7R.

As you can plainly see, both the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX-H20G featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Sony A7R will render greater detail having its extra 22MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older EX-H20G will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
