Casio EX-Z800 vs Sony A77 II Sensor Comparison

Clearly, the two cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z800 using its tinier sensor will make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony A77 II will offer extra detail having an extra 10MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older EX-Z800 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
