Canon SX260 HS vs Casio EX-FH100 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, its difficult to see the gap between sensor sizes just by going over specifications. The image here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX260 HS and EX-FH100.
Plainly, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Canon SX260 HS to offer you greater detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The fresher SX260 HS is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
