Casio EX-H30 vs Sony HX90V Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, its hard to see the difference in sensor sizes merely by going through specifications. The pic below will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-H30 and HX90V.
Plainly, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Sony HX90V to show greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-H30 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
