Oftentimes, it is difficult to envision the gap in sensor measurements only by viewing specifications. The visual below may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the ELPH 135 and TX66.
Plainly, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Sony TX66 to provide you with greater detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics much more aggressively. The fresher ELPH 135 will have a benefit in sensor technology.
