Sometimes, it is difficult to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by viewing specifications. The picture underneath may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the FS15 and W560.

To sum up, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You should expect to see the Sony W560 to result in greater detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged FS15 will be behind in sensor innovation.
