Casio EX-S12 vs Sony W620 Sensor Comparison
More often than not, it can be tough to envision the gap in sensor measurements simply by viewing a spec sheet. The visual underneath might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-S12 and W620.
Clearly, both of those cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Sony W620 to result in extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots more aggressively. The older EX-S12 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
