Casio EX-S5 vs Sony RX1R II Sensor Comparison

Clearly, both of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The EX-S5 with its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Sony RX1R II will deliver more detail having an extra 33 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged EX-S5 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
