Casio EX-S5 vs Samsung GX-10 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very hard to envision the contrast between sensor sizes just by checking technical specs. The pic here should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-S5 and GX-10.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The EX-S5 because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Samsung GX-10 will resolve greater detail having its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more recent EX-S5 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
