Casio EX-FC100 vs Sony WX50 Sensor Comparison
In many cases, it is very difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor sizing merely by checking specifications. The graphic here should provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-FC100 and WX50.

Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The older EX-FC100 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
