Casio EX-H30 vs Fujifilm S2 Pro Sensor Comparison

Quite often, its tough to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes merely by going over specs. The pic underneath will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-H30 and Fujifilm S2 Pro.

As you can plainly see, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The EX-H30 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting bokeh more challenging and the Casio EX-H30 will deliver more detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots far more aggressively. The younger EX-H30 should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
