Casio EX-Z35 vs Sony RX100 IV Sensor Comparison

Generally, it is tough to picture the gap between sensor dimensions simply by looking at technical specs. The image underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-Z35 and RX100 IV.

As you can tell, the two cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The EX-Z35 using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Sony RX100 IV will resolve extra detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z35 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
