Usually, its difficult to envision the contrast between sensor sizing purely by reading technical specs. The visual here may provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the TRYX and TX30.

As you have seen, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Sony TX30 to offer you extra detail utilizing its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older TRYX is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
