Casio EX-S200 vs Sony A35 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is difficult to see the gap between sensor sizes only by reading a spec sheet. The image here should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-S200 and A35.

As you can see, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The EX-S200 using its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Sony A35 will deliver extra detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged EX-S200 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
