Usually, it can be tough to visualise the difference in sensor sizing merely by seeing specifications. The graphic underneath might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX220 HS and Galaxy Camera 2.
To sum up, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 to provide more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The older SX220 HS will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
