Casio EX-FH100 vs Sony HX7V Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very difficult to see the difference between sensor sizing purely by reviewing specifications. The photograph here will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-FH100 and HX7V.

Plainly, the 2 cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Sony HX7V to offer you greater detail with its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots more aggressively. The older EX-FH100 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
