Canon A1200 vs Casio EX-FH100 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very tough to envision the difference in sensor dimensions only by researching specs. The image underneath should give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the A1200 and EX-FH100.

All in all, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Canon A1200 to result in extra detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The more recent A1200 will have a benefit in sensor technology.
