Casio EX-FH25 vs Sony QX1 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is difficult to imagine the difference in sensor measurements purely by seeing technical specs. The visual here should give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-FH25 and QX1.

As you have seen, both of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The EX-FH25 because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Sony QX1 will provide extra detail as a result of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots more aggressively. The older EX-FH25 will be behind in sensor technology.
