Casio EX-FH100 vs Pentax X-5 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it can be tough to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements purely by seeing specifications. The graphic here should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-FH100 and X-5.
To sum up, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different MP. You should anticipate the Pentax X-5 to provide more detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos far more aggressively. The older EX-FH100 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
