Casio EX-FH100 vs Panasonic ZS8 Sensor Comparison

As you can plainly see, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Panasonic ZS8 to offer extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged EX-FH100 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
