Casio EX-Z33 vs Sony RX100 V Sensor Comparison

Often, its difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements merely by checking technical specs. The graphic below should provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-Z33 and RX100 V.

As you can tell, the two cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z33 using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sony RX100 V will resolve greater detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images way more aggressively. The older EX-Z33 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
