Casio EX-FH100 vs Panasonic 3D1 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it's difficult to visualise the gap between sensor measurements just by looking at a spec sheet. The graphic here will provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-FH100 and 3D1.

Clearly, both cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Panasonic 3D1 to give extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The older EX-FH100 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
