Casio EX-H30 vs Sigma fp Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it can be tough to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements merely by checking specifications. The visual here might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-H30 and fp.

To sum up, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX-H30 due to its tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF more challenging and the Sigma fp will resolve greater detail due to its extra 9 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics far more aggressively. The older EX-H30 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
