Casio EX-ZR100 vs Sony A6000 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very difficult to envision the gap in sensor measurements only by going through a spec sheet. The visual here may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-ZR100 and A6000.

Clearly, both the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The EX-ZR100 using its smaller sensor will make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sony A6000 will provide more detail using its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images much more aggressively. The older EX-ZR100 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
