Casio EX-Z800 vs Ricoh GXR A12 50mm F2.5 Macro Sensor Comparison

Often, it is very difficult to see the contrast in sensor measurements merely by going through a spec sheet. The photograph here may offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-Z800 and GXR A12 50mm F2.5 Macro.

Clearly, each of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z800 having a smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Casio EX-Z800 will produce extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The younger EX-Z800 is going to have an advantage in sensor innovation.
