Konica Minolta 5D has a
6.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized CCD sensor . On the other hand, Casio EX-Z33 has a
10.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Below you can see the 5D and EX-Z33 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Konica Minolta 5D and Casio EX-Z33 Cameras
As seen above, Konica Minolta 5D has a 13.1x Larger sensor area than Casio EX-Z33. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in 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
Konica Minolta 5D
or the
Casio EX-Z33 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
One thing to watch when comparing these two: they have different sensor sizes
(APS-C versus 1/2.3-inch),
so compare them at the same framing rather than the same focal length.
Put the same focal length on the smaller sensor and it will show less depth of
field, not more, because it also crops tighter. The calculator shows the
full frame equivalent focal length for each body so you can match the framing.
