Casio EX-H20G vs Sony RX100 VII Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's difficult to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions only by reading through specifications. The picture underneath will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-H20G and RX100 VII.

Plainly, each of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The EX-H20G using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Sony RX100 VII will give you more detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-H20G is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
