Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Casio EX-H20G and Panasonic XS1 Cameras
Casio EX-H20G and Panasonic XS1 have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Casio EX-H20G
or the
Panasonic XS1 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
