Casio EX-FS10 vs Sony TX30 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is very tough to see the gap in sensor dimensions purely by checking out specs. The image below should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-FS10 and TX30.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Sony TX30 to provide more detail as a result of its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged EX-FS10 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
