Casio EX-H10 vs Panasonic S2 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very tough to see the contrast between sensor dimensions only by looking at specs. The picture underneath should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-H10 and S2.

All in all, the two cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Panasonic S2 to give you more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-H10 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
