Casio EX-FC100 vs Nikon S6000 Sensor Comparison
Normally, it is very tough to picture the difference in sensor dimensions only by viewing a spec sheet. The image underneath may give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-FC100 and S6000.
Clearly, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You can count on the Nikon S6000 to render extra detail as a result of its extra 5MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged EX-FC100 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
