More often than not, it can be hard to imagine the gap in sensor sizing only by looking through technical specs. The visual below will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the TRYX and WX1.

As you have seen, each of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The TRYX featuring a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Casio TRYX will result in extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures more aggressively. The more modern TRYX provides a benefit in sensor tech.
