Casio EX-FC100 vs Sony A7S III Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it's hard to visualise the gap in sensor sizing purely by going through specifications. The photograph below should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-FC100 and A7S III.
To sum up, each of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The EX-FC100 having a smaller sensor will make getting shallower DOF trickier and the Sony A7S III will show greater detail with its extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older EX-FC100 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
