Casio EX-FH25 vs Sony A7 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizing just by looking at a spec sheet. The photograph below might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-FH25 and A7.

Clearly, each of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The EX-FH25 with its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sony A7 will give you more detail having an extra 14MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics a little more aggressively. The older EX-FH25 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
