In case you're intending to travel with your camera regularly, you have to take into account its weight and size.

Always remember, the weight of an ILC will vary dependant on the lens you are utilising at that time. Here is the front view dimension comparison of the TRYX vs the TX66.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability score of the TRYX and TX66 is 99 and 97 respectively.

In many cases, its hard to see the difference in sensor dimensions just by checking out a spec sheet. The image below will give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the TRYX and TX66.

Clearly, both cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Sony TX66 to provide greater detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged TRYX will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
