Casio TRYX vs Sigma SD9 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, its difficult to see the gap between sensor dimensions just by checking specs. The pic underneath should give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the TRYX and SD9.

All in all, the 2 cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The TRYX with its tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF more difficult and the Casio TRYX will resolve more detail with its extra 9MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The newer TRYX is going to have a benefit in sensor technology.
