Casio TRYX vs Sony A3000 Sensor Comparison
Quite often, it can be difficult to visualise the difference between sensor measurements only by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph below may give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the TRYX and A3000.
Clearly, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The TRYX using its tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF more challenging and the Sony A3000 will give you extra detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots way more aggressively. The older TRYX is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
