Casio EX-Z35 vs Sigma SD9 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very difficult to picture the gap in sensor sizes simply by checking out specs. The image here may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-Z35 and SD9.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The EX-Z35 due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Casio EX-Z35 will show greater detail as a result of its extra 9MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures way more aggressively. The more recent EX-Z35 should have an edge in sensor innovation.
