Casio EX-FC150 vs Nikon S9100 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing only by researching specifications. The photograph here should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-FC150 and S9100.
Plainly, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Nikon S9100 to result in greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs far more aggressively. The older EX-FC150 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
