Casio EX-S7 vs Sony W650 Sensor Comparison

Often, it is very hard to envision the difference between sensor measurements merely by reading through specifications. The graphic here may give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-S7 and W650.

Plainly, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Sony W650 to give you extra detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs far more aggressively. The older EX-S7 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
