Casio EX-H20G vs Sony A330 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's difficult to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions only by viewing specifications. The pic here will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-H20G and A330.

Plainly, each of these cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The EX-H20G having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Casio EX-H20G will render extra detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos much more aggressively. The younger EX-H20G should have an edge in sensor tech.
