Casio TRYX vs Epson R-D1 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very difficult to visualize the difference between sensor sizes purely by reading technical specs. The picture below might give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the TRYX and R-D1.

As you have seen, both of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The TRYX with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Casio TRYX will offer you extra detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures more aggressively. The more recent TRYX should have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
