Canon ELPH 130 vs Sony WX220 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, its hard to see the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by looking through specifications. The pic below may provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the ELPH 130 and WX220.
Plainly, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Sony WX220 to render more detail utilizing its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged ELPH 130 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
