Casio EX-S5 vs Sony ZV-1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it's tough to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes purely by reviewing a spec sheet. The image below may give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-S5 and ZV-1.
Clearly, the 2 cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The EX-S5 having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more challenging and the Sony ZV-1 will offer extra detail because of its extra 11MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged EX-S5 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
