Casio EX-Z450 vs Panasonic FH7 Sensor Comparison

Usually, its hard to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions purely by reading through technical specs. The picture underneath will provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-Z450 and FH7.

As you have seen, each of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Panasonic FH7 to give greater detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z450 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
