Casio EX-S7 vs Panasonic FP5 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, its tough to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing purely by viewing a spec sheet. The photograph underneath may give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-S7 and FP5.
Clearly, each of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different resolution. You can expect the Panasonic FP5 to result in extra detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The older EX-S7 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
