Casio EX-H20G vs Sony A7S Sensor Comparison

Often, it is very tough to picture the difference in sensor dimensions purely by viewing technical specs. The picture here will help give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-H20G and A7S.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The EX-H20G using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving bokeh harder and the Casio EX-H20G will render greater detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged EX-H20G will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
