Casio EX-H15 vs Sony W730 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is tough to see the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reading through technical specs. The picture here will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-H15 and W730.

As you have seen, both cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Sony W730 to give you more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged EX-H15 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
