Casio EX-S5 vs Panasonic FP3 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is tough to visualise the gap in sensor measurements purely by researching specifications. The photograph underneath might give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-S5 and FP3.

Plainly, each of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Panasonic FP3 to render greater detail with its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images far more aggressively. The older EX-S5 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
