Casio EX-S7 vs Sony H400 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it's difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizing simply by reviewing specs. The photograph here will offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-S7 and H400.

As you can plainly see, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Sony H400 to offer you extra detail because of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older EX-S7 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
