Casio EX-ZR800 vs Sony HX99 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it can be difficult to picture the gap in sensor sizes purely by viewing technical specs. The image here may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-ZR800 and HX99.

As you can tell, both of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The EX-ZR800 having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony HX99 will result in greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images more aggressively. The more aged EX-ZR800 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
