The EX-S5 was revealed 11 years earlier than the RX100 VII which is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras offer different body type with the Casio EX-S5 being a Ultracompact camera and the Sony RX100 VII being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before going in to a in-depth comparison, below is a concise view of how the EX-S5 grades versus the RX100 VII when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you have chosen at that moment. Here is the front view measurement comparison of the EX-S5 compared to the RX100 VII.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the EX-S5 and RX100 VII is 97 and 88 respectively.

Sometimes, it can be tough to picture the gap between sensor dimensions simply by reviewing a spec sheet. The image underneath might offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-S5 and RX100 VII.

Clearly, both of those cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The EX-S5 with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Sony RX100 VII will offer greater detail because of its extra 11MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged EX-S5 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
