Casio EX-FH25 vs Casio EX-S12 Sensor Comparison

Plainly, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Casio EX-S12 to give extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots far more aggressively. The more recent EX-FH25 will have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
