Casio EX-ZR800 vs Sony RX100 VI Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very tough to picture the difference between sensor measurements purely by reading a spec sheet. The graphic here might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-ZR800 and RX100 VI.

As you can see, the 2 cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The EX-ZR800 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF harder and the Sony RX100 VI will offer more detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The older EX-ZR800 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
