Casio EX-S5 vs Sony WX1 Sensor Comparison
Usually, it is difficult to visualize the difference in sensor dimensions simply by viewing specifications. The image here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-S5 and WX1.
Plainly, the 2 cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The EX-S5 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Sony WX1 will provide you with greater detail utilizing its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged EX-S5 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
