Canon D30 vs Sony TF1 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Generally, its hard to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions just by looking through technical specs. The image underneath may offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the D30 and TF1.
As you have seen, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You can expect the Sony TF1 to render extra detail utilizing its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The younger D30 should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
