Casio EX-S200 vs Pentax X-5 Sensor Comparison

Generally, it is very hard to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing purely by viewing specifications. The graphic underneath should offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-S200 and X-5.

Plainly, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions but different resolution. You should expect to see the Pentax X-5 to result in extra detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The older EX-S200 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
