Casio EX-Z16 vs Panasonic FP3 Sensor Comparison

Often, it can be tough to envision the contrast between sensor measurements only by looking at a spec sheet. The photograph here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-Z16 and FP3.

Clearly, the two cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Panasonic FP3 to give you greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more recent EX-Z16 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
