Canon A3500 IS vs Casio EX-H15 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Generally, it is hard to envision the gap between sensor sizes simply by reviewing specs. The image here might give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the A3500 IS and EX-H15.
All in all, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Canon A3500 IS to offer you extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The fresher A3500 IS will have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
