Casio EX-G1 vs Panasonic FP5 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it is very tough to visualize the difference between sensor sizes only by reviewing specs. The image below will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-G1 and FP5.
All in all, both the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but different resolution. You should expect to see the Panasonic FP5 to offer greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged EX-G1 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
