Casio EX-FC100 vs YI M1

The following is a extensive overview of the Casio EX-FC100 versus YI M1, former is a Small Sensor Compact while the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by competitors Casio and YI. There exists a noticeable gap between the sensor resolutions of the EX-FC100 (9MP) and M1 (20MP) and the EX-FC100 (1/2.3") and M1 (Four Thirds) offer different sensor measurements.

The EX-FC100 was introduced 8 years earlier than the M1 which is quite a sizable difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Casio EX-FC100 being a Compact camera and the YI M1 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving into a in depth comparison, here is a quick highlight of how the EX-FC100 grades against the M1 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Remember, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you choose at that moment. The following is a front view dimension comparison of the EX-FC100 and the M1.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the EX-FC100 and M1 is 94 and 87 respectively.

More often than not, it can be hard to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions simply by reviewing specifications. The pic here will give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-FC100 and M1.

Plainly, the two cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The EX-FC100 having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the YI M1 will offer you greater detail using its extra 11 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-FC100 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
