Casio EX-Z33 vs Sony a5000 Sensor Comparison
Often, it is very tough to imagine the gap between sensor measurements just by reading through specifications. The graphic here will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-Z33 and a5000.
Plainly, both of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z33 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sony a5000 will resolve more detail due to its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older EX-Z33 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
