Casio EX-FH25 vs Nikon S9100 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it's difficult to imagine the gap between sensor sizes purely by looking at a spec sheet. The image below may provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-FH25 and S9100.

Clearly, both cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but different megapixels. You can expect to see the Nikon S9100 to give you extra detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images a little more aggressively. The more aged EX-FH25 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
