Casio EX-H15 vs Panasonic FH7 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is tough to see the gap in sensor sizing just by going through specs. The photograph underneath may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-H15 and FH7.

All in all, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Panasonic FH7 to show greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-H15 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
