Canon SD4500 IS vs Sony WX80 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Often, its hard to see the difference between sensor measurements merely by reviewing specifications. The visual here will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the SD4500 IS and WX80.
Plainly, each of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Sony WX80 to offer you more detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older SD4500 IS is going to be behind in sensor tech.
