Kodak M530 has a
12.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor . On the other hand, Casio EX-FS10 has a
9.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Below you can see the M530 and EX-FS10 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Kodak M530 and Casio EX-FS10 Cameras
Kodak M530 and Casio EX-FS10 have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture. On the other hand, since Casio EX-FS10 has 33% larger pixel area (3.13µm 2 vs 2.34µm 2 ) compared to Kodak M530, it has larger pixel area to collect light hence potential to have less noise in low light / High ISO images.
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
Kodak M530
or the
Casio EX-FS10 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
