Casio EX-FH100 vs Panasonic ZS80 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Panasonic ZS80 to give more detail with its extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The older EX-FH100 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
