Canon Elph 115 IS vs Sony TX200V Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it's difficult to visualize the gap in sensor sizes only by viewing a spec sheet. The pic here will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the Elph 115 IS and TX200V.
Clearly, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different MP. You can anticipate the Sony TX200V to render extra detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The younger Elph 115 IS provides an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
