Casio EX-FC100 vs Sony A77 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very tough to see the gap between sensor sizes just by going over a spec sheet. The picture here might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-FC100 and A77.

Clearly, both cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The EX-FC100 featuring a tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Sony A77 will offer you more detail having its extra 15 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images more aggressively. The more aged EX-FC100 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
