Here, we will be looking at the Casio EX-G1 versus Panasonic FS15, both Ultracompact digital cameras by manufacturers Casio and Panasonic. The image resolution of the EX-G1 (12MP) and the FS15 (12MP) is relatively well matched and both cameras offer the identical sensor sizing (1/2.3").

The EX-G1 was introduced 11 months later than the FS15 so they are both of a similar generation. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (Ultracompact).

Before we go straight to a in depth comparison, here is a quick view of how the EX-G1 grades vs the FS15 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

If you are aiming to lug around your camera, you'll need to consider its weight and measurements. The Casio EX-G1 offers physical dimensions of 104mm x 64mm x 20mm (4.1" x 2.5" x 0.8") accompanied by a weight of 154 grams (0.34 lbs) and the Panasonic FS15 has proportions of 97mm x 54mm x 22mm (3.8" x 2.1" x 0.9") and a weight of 136 grams (0.30 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you are working with at that time. The following is a front view measurements comparison of the EX-G1 against the FS15.

Considering size and weight, the portability score of the EX-G1 and FS15 is 94 and 95 respectively.

In many cases, it's tough to visualise the gap between sensor measurements simply by reading through technical specs. The graphic below might give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-G1 and FS15.

As you have seen, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size and the same exact megapixels so you should expect similar quality of pictures but you would want to factor the release date of the products into consideration. The more modern EX-G1 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
