Casio EX-FH25 vs Olympus SZ-10 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it's hard to see the gap in sensor sizes merely by going through technical specs. The pic underneath might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-FH25 and SZ-10.

As you have seen, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Olympus SZ-10 to show extra detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will help you crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged EX-FH25 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
