Canon SD4500 IS vs Sony W710 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Usually, its difficult to imagine the difference between sensor sizing only by looking at specs. The photograph below will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the SD4500 IS and W710.
As you can plainly see, both the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different MP. You should expect the Sony W710 to give you greater detail having an extra 6MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs way more aggressively. The older SD4500 IS is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
