Casio EX-Z800 vs Sony NEX-6 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it can be difficult to see the gap between sensor sizes only by checking a spec sheet. The image below will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-Z800 and NEX-6.

Clearly, each of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The EX-Z800 using its tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF harder and the Sony NEX-6 will give you greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z800 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
