Casio EX-Z33 vs YI M1 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it's tough to picture the gap in sensor dimensions just by looking through specifications. The pic here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-Z33 and M1.

Plainly, each of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The EX-Z33 because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the YI M1 will result in greater detail having its extra 10MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z33 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
