Casio EX-FC100 vs Nikon P310 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is tough to see the gap between sensor dimensions only by looking at technical specs. The pic below may give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-FC100 and P310.

As you can tell, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Nikon P310 to resolve extra detail because of its extra 7 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged EX-FC100 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
