Casio EX-Z33 vs Sony A7R II Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it can be hard to imagine the difference in sensor sizes purely by seeing specifications. The pic underneath might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-Z33 and A7R II.

Plainly, both the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The EX-Z33 due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sony A7R II will produce extra detail due to its extra 32MP. Greater resolution will let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z33 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
