Casio EX-S200 vs Ricoh GR Digital III Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is very tough to visualise the difference in sensor sizes purely by checking out a spec sheet. The picture underneath may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-S200 and GR Digital III.

As you can see, both cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The EX-S200 because of its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Casio EX-S200 will provide more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The younger EX-S200 is going to have an advantage in sensor innovation.
