Casio EX-Z800 vs Sony RX100 III Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is difficult to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions merely by seeing technical specs. The picture here should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-Z800 and RX100 III.

As you can tell, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The EX-Z800 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Sony RX100 III will produce extra detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z800 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
