Casio EX-FC150 vs Olympus SZ-31MR iHS Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, its tough to see the difference in sensor measurements only by researching a spec sheet. The photograph here may give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-FC150 and SZ-31MR iHS.
As you can see, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Olympus SZ-31MR iHS to provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The older EX-FC150 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
