Casio EX-S7 vs Sony WX1 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, both cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The EX-S7 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Casio EX-S7 will provide you with greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The more recent EX-S7 should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
