Casio EX-FH100 vs Panasonic FX78 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
In many cases, it is very tough to see the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by researching a spec sheet. The picture below will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-FH100 and FX78.
Clearly, each of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Panasonic FX78 to provide you with greater detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged EX-FH100 will be behind in sensor tech.
