Canon A810 vs Sony W370 Sensor Comparison

Often, it's difficult to see the gap between sensor measurements just by checking specifications. The graphic here should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the A810 and W370.

Plainly, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Canon A810 to give you greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The younger A810 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
