Casio EX-FH25 vs Sony HX200V Sensor Comparison

Generally, it is very hard to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions merely by looking at a spec sheet. The pic here might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-FH25 and HX200V.

Clearly, both cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Sony HX200V to give more detail due to its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged EX-FH25 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
