Casio EX-H20G vs Sony A900 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it can be tough to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements only by checking out technical specs. The photograph here will give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-H20G and A900.

As you can tell, both cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The EX-H20G having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the Sony A900 will produce more detail using its extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more modern EX-H20G should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
