Casio EX-S7 vs Sony RX100 VII Sensor Comparison

Quite often, its tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizes simply by reviewing specs. The picture underneath will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-S7 and RX100 VII.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The EX-S7 due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony RX100 VII will offer you more detail having its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged EX-S7 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
