More often than not, it is very tough to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing specifications. The image here will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the ELPH 135 and T90.

Plainly, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Canon ELPH 135 to offer you greater detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos way more aggressively. The more modern ELPH 135 will have an advantage in sensor technology.
