Casio EX-ZR700 vs Sony RX1R Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Generally, it's tough to visualize the difference in sensor sizes only by seeing a spec sheet. The pic below will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-ZR700 and RX1R.
Clearly, both of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The EX-ZR700 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Sony RX1R will produce extra detail having an extra 8MP. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures much more aggressively.
