Casio EX-S7 vs Olympus VG-145 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very hard to visualize the difference in sensor sizing merely by looking through a spec sheet. The graphic here should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-S7 and VG-145.

Clearly, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You should anticipate the Olympus VG-145 to provide you with more detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images much more aggressively. The older EX-S7 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
