Casio EX-FS10 vs Nikon L32 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it can be tough to picture the difference in sensor sizing purely by checking out a spec sheet. The visual underneath will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-FS10 and L32.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions but different MP. You should anticipate the Nikon L32 to produce extra detail with its extra 11MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The older EX-FS10 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
