Casio EX-H20G vs Sony RX1R Sensor Comparison

Generally, it can be tough to see the gap between sensor measurements simply by checking technical specs. The visual here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-H20G and RX1R.

As you can tell, each of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The EX-H20G due to its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF tougher and the Sony RX1R will resolve extra detail due to its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The older EX-H20G is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
