Canon ELPH 330 HS vs Sony HX10V Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Quite often, it can be hard to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions only by reading technical specs. The picture here might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the ELPH 330 HS and HX10V.
As you can tell, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different MP. You should expect the Sony HX10V to offer more detail having an extra 6MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more modern ELPH 330 HS should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
