Casio EX-S5 vs Sony W380 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it can be hard to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by going through technical specs. The picture below may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-S5 and W380.

As you can tell, both cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different megapixels. You can count on the Sony W380 to provide greater detail due to its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged EX-S5 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
