Casio TRYX vs Sony W380 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes purely by researching a spec sheet. The picture here should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the TRYX and W380.

As you can see, the 2 cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Sony W380 to render more detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots more aggressively. The more recent TRYX will have a benefit in sensor tech.
