Casio EX-S12 vs Samsung ST150F

Lets examine more closely at the Casio EX-S12 versus Samsung ST150F, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras by manufacturers Casio and Samsung. There exists a huge gap between the image resolutions of the EX-S12 (12MP) and ST150F (16MP) but they use the exact same sensor sizes (1/2.3").

The EX-S12 was introduced 5 years before the ST150F and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before going through a step-by-step comparison, below is a concise highlight of how the EX-S12 grades against the ST150F with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Typically, it is very difficult to picture the contrast between sensor measurements just by reviewing a spec sheet. The photograph underneath will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-S12 and ST150F.

As you can see, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You should count on the Samsung ST150F to deliver extra detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures much more aggressively. The older EX-S12 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
