Canon ELPH 100 HS vs Sony W810 Sensor Comparison
Quite often, it is very tough to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by going over a spec sheet. The picture below will give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the ELPH 100 HS and W810.
As you can see, both of those cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Sony W810 to deliver more detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images more aggressively. The more aged ELPH 100 HS is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
