Casio EX-FC100 vs Sony H55 Sensor Comparison
Quite often, it's hard to see the gap between sensor sizing merely by looking at specifications. The graphic below should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-FC100 and H55.
To sum up, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Sony H55 to give you greater detail with its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The older EX-FC100 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
