Casio TRYX vs Fujifilm S3 Pro Sensor Comparison

Typically, it's hard to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions simply by reading through specifications. The pic below will help provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the TRYX and Fujifilm S3 Pro.

To sum up, both of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The TRYX because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Casio TRYX will give extra detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs far more aggressively. The younger TRYX is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
