Casio EX-FC100 vs Olympus SZ-11 Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it is very difficult to envision the contrast in sensor measurements merely by seeing technical specs. The graphic here may give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-FC100 and SZ-11.
As you have seen, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Olympus SZ-11 to show more detail having an extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots far more aggressively. The older EX-FC100 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
