Casio EX-FC150 vs Samsung DV300F Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is difficult to visualise the difference in sensor measurements merely by looking through specs. The photograph here should give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-FC150 and DV300F.

All in all, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Samsung DV300F to result in more detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-FC150 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
