Casio EX-S200 vs Ricoh GXR A12 50mm F2.5 Macro Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is tough to visualize the difference between sensor measurements purely by checking a spec sheet. The photograph here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-S200 and GXR A12 50mm F2.5 Macro.

As you can see, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The EX-S200 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Casio EX-S200 will give more detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The newer EX-S200 should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
