Casio EX-FC150 vs Pentax S1 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Oftentimes, it is hard to visualize the gap in sensor sizing merely by going through specifications. The visual here may offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-FC150 and S1.
Plainly, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Pentax S1 to produce extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-FC150 will be behind in sensor innovation.
